Educational theory and engineering education practice: a generalisable description of the design of a lab course on how to investigate electrical circuits
Year: 2007
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: Newton's laws describe some very general principles of the motion of an automobile car and their quantitative relations but do not prescribe its design. For instance, a vehicle does not necessarily have four wheels, but based on Newton’s second law it should have an engine that provides a force. Once a design has been made, theory helps in the analysis of the performance of this new design (as in computer aided design) but the vehicle still will be tested in practice. A good car design will stimulate other companies to design a similar car based on the patents they possess.
