  1. The Transparency Paradox: Computational Simulations as Learning Tools for Engineering Graduate Education

    08 Apr 2010 | Contributor(s):: Alejandra J. Magana, Sean Brophy,

    Computational simulations have become a critical part of computational science, which is being described as the third leg in this century’s methodologies of science. Computational simulations have also become a critical element of learning experiences as they can provide engineering students with...

  2. Are Simulation Tools Developed and Used by Experts Appropriate Experimentation Tools for Educational Contexts?

    08 Apr 2010 | Contributor(s):: Alejandra J. Magana, Sean Brophy,

    Simulations and visualizations can lead to significant improvements in students'conceptual understanding. This increased understanding may be due to the formation of expert-like dynamic mental models. Laboratory simulations have been used in educational contexts forinquiry learning by allowing...

  3. Professors' Instructional Approaches and Students' Perceptions of nanoHUB Simulations as Learning Tools.

    08 Apr 2010 | Contributor(s):: Alejandra J. Magana, Sean Brophy,

    Simulations can provide a critical element of learning experiences. Simulations are alsobecoming a critical part of computational science, which is being described as the thirdlegin this century's methodologies of science (Sabelli, et. al, 2005). Opportunities existto use the same simulation as...

  4. How People Learn 101: Theory and Practice

    07 Apr 2010 | Contributor(s):: Krishna P. C. Madhavan, Sean Brophy

    One of the primary goals of the NCN Education and Assessment Group is to allow insights from engineering education research to diffuse into the engineering curricula. This resource is designed to provide faculty members designing a course using nanoHUB resources a quick introduction to the How...

  5. Professor's and Student's Perceptions and Experiences of Computational Simulations as Learning Tools

    Papers | 04 Apr 2010 | Contributor(s):: Alejandra J. Magana

    Computational simulations are becoming a critical component of scientific and engineering research, and now are becoming an important component for learning. This dissertation provides findings from a multifaceted research study exploring the ways computational simulations have been perceived and...
