A Preliminary Study Outcome and Analysis of Teaching and Learning Problems in Engineering at UNITEN

Abstract

This paper presents a preliminary study on the teaching and learning problems in engineering in mechanics dynamics domain. The motivation for conducting this pilot study is to suggest the improvements in learning mechanics dynamics through smart interactive computer aided learning approach. A questionnaire was distributed to the mechanical engineering students in UNITEN with a sample size of n=127. The data collected was analyzed and the preliminary results revealed that students faced difficulties to comprehend the mechanics dynamics concepts. As such newer technological software may be useful as an additional supplementary tool to aid them in learning.
