Semiconductor Lessons Became Interactive
Five universities are testing simulations that let students manipulate otherwise invisible charge-carrier behavior.
Summary
Five universities are testing simulations that let students manipulate otherwise invisible charge-carrier behavior.
Kennesaw State faculty are implementing NSF-funded interactive semiconductor visualizations developed with Georgia Tech, while Purdue researchers lead the educational assessment. Students complete activities before and after using simulations of electrons and other subatomic processes. The project is testing whether the modules improve understanding; it has not yet reported final learning gains.
