This paper describes a Computer Assisted Learning (CAL) package for the topic of sequential control. This is written in HyperCard and uses various animation programs. The novelty of the package lies in the animation of electrical circuits to show step by step the functioning of a sequential control circuit. This is also linked to animations of the mechanical systems they control. Students are thus able to observe, as many times as they require, the steps in the operation of such a control system. This approach has been found to be very useful in teaching students who found difficulty in inferring the method of operation of such circuits from a single circuit diagram that only illustrated a single state.<>

This paper presents the use of personal computers in the process control laboratory at the Department of Chemical Engineering, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia. A description of four control systems interfaced to computers-a flow control system, a level control system, a heated tank control system and a fermenter/batch reactor control system are given. Being versatile controllers and data loggers, the computers also provide a friendly and appealing environment for students to perform experiments on the systems. The different characteristic of each system provides a variety of hands-on experience which incorporates the application of process control and reinforcement of the theories learnt in class. Finally, a sample experiment is included to illustrate the application and experience gained by students.<>

Considers multimedia and its current and future relevance to education. Many of us have asked ourselves-are we facing a revolution in educational practice-is it already here-or is it coming. Will it be a comprehensive revolution-and if partial how partial, or is it reversible. What we would like to discuss is what conditions do we need for a breakthrough, what is available and where the first breakthroughs are likely to happen.<>

The paper provides an evaluative study of the impact of the Pro/ENGINEER designer's package on learning outcomes in a first year mechanical engineering design subject. It is concluded that such packages can be used successfully to replace traditional pencil-and-paper approaches, and that their impact will be to change the way spatial concepts and visualisation are taught and developed.<>

An increasing number of universities are offering courses on Photonics. Due to financial and safety considerations, these courses are generally theoretical and include very little, if any, experimental or design content. Computer-aided learning (CAL) techniques, can be used to enhance these courses and to develop practical and realistic design skills in the students. Furthermore, CAL offers safety advantages and is inexpensive compared with physical experiments. This paper introduces OPALS-the Opto-electronic, Photonic and Advanced Laser Simulator-which can be used as such a learning tool.<>

Describes the development of a microcomputer-controlled laboratory station known as ACLS (Automated Control Laboratory Station). It is a flexible experimental station with a friendly online user interface and a graphical oriented environment for analysis, testing and simulation of physical systems. It provides an environment for training students in real-time laboratory exercises and the facility for implementation and testing of control algorithms online. It incorporates features that was intended to make laboratory teaching more attractive and to introduce students to practical aspects of control systems analysis and design.<>

A series of simulation and demonstration programs have been written using the Microsoft Windows operating system to illustrate various topics in electronics and circuit theory. Traditional chalk board or overhead projection methods have proved impractical in material such as the simulation of diode junction effects, or inflexible in demonstrations such as the synthesis of Bode plot approximations. The paper concludes with a brief discussion of the place of computer-based presentations in technical lecturing.<>

Inappropriate methodology or inefficient usage of teaching tools in the process of delivering lectures to practising electrical engineers can impair the process of learning, obscuring the conceptualization of subject's fundamentals and hasten the growth of boredom in lecture theater because these engineers are not tuned to listening long hours of lectures. As a result the basic aim of educating those engineers in an organised continuing education programme becomes a failure. Institute of High Voltage and High Current (IVAT) had conducted two short-courses (Electrical Discharges and Electrical Earthing) in the effort to educate practising electrical engineers and multi-media instructions were incorporated to enhance learning. So this paper focuses on various concepts of multi-media instructions in the effort to achieve improvement in learning and understanding of high voltage phenomena. The comment from the participants about the effects of multi-media method of instruction through questionnaire is also presented.<>

Today's municipal managers are required to be both successful business managers and technical specialists. This paper outlines a course unit aiming to broaden the knowledge, skills and attitudes of engineers in local government. It discusses the techniques used to achieve success in the post-graduate diploma and MBA (Technology Management) distance education package from the Association of Professional Engineers, Scientists and Managers (APESMA). Two examples of topics are detailed: the privatisation of service delivery, and the requirements of asset management systems.<>

There are now many institutes offering distance learning. This kind of education is found to be particularly useful to those who live far away from the campus and cannot attend regular classes. However, the main disadvantages of such education is the lack of contact between the teaching staff and students, and group discussion is almost impossible. An experimental multimedia interactive group discussion system will be described. With the students' workstations connected to the network, the tutor can hold a group discussion meeting without requiring the students to travel to the campus. Using the system, the tutor and the students can view any documents together using the shared screen. Furthermore, a voice channel is set up so that verbal discussion can be exchanged between the students and the tutor. A suitable floor control mechanism is used to ensure the tutor maintains proper control of the discussion.<>
