Abstract
It is a serious problem that many students neither show any interest in traditional-style lectures, nor do they read traditional-style textbooks. One of the reasons for this is that the traditional teaching method does not fit the younger generation of the TV-era. As a result, university students may fail to understand the fundamental concepts of engineering sciences which are essential in solving real engineering problems. In order to overcome this problem, we have developed a CAI system based upon recent developments in computer hardware and software enabling use of multimedia data, which include text data, graphical data, and sound data. The present system makes use of interactive digital movies, and it runs on inexpensive personal computer systems so that university students can use it personally and learn the engineering fundamentals intuitively. In the present study, the system is applied to a couse in strength of materials including interactive movies on material experiments such as a Charpy test and tensile tests, where it demonstrates the effectiveness and advantages of a multimedia instruction system.
