摘要:計畫期程:自102年4月1日至103年3月31日,共1年
計畫主持人:台灣大學吳宗霖教授
協同主持人:台灣科技大學馬自莊教授、國家高速網路與計算中心林錫慶副組長
指導委員會共同召集人:元智大學彭松村教授
計畫緣起及目標:
電磁現象為電機領域中既古老又現代的一門學問,許多科學的新發展需從探討電磁現象開始。然而,電磁教學對基礎科學,包含物理與數學,要求嚴格,令許多學生卻步,且電磁科技之歷史悠久,學術與實用成果輝煌,故文獻資料已呈爆炸情況,取捨不易。因此造成當今產業人才需求並未降低,但學生投入電磁研究之意願逐步下滑,國內電磁領域面臨之人才斷層的困境。
有鑑於此,本計畫召集包括台大、台科大、元智、中正及逢甲大學多位具多年電磁教學經驗的資深教師,配合國家高速網路與計算中心之遠距教學網路平台與拍製設施,並聘請eLearning專家參與設計與製作電磁之多媒體教學內容。希望透過數位化教材擴大電磁人才培育的規模,並強化電磁教學品質。
計畫策略及規畫方向:
本計畫以包容、多元與彈性學習為策略,將每一課程主題包裝為模組化教材,並據以建構電磁數位平台,其內容包含:學前能力的程度測試題庫、模組化內容、模組化測驗及學習路徑導引。不僅提供學生自學管道,可依循自我能力與時間調配,自由選擇最有效的學習路徑,並隨時進行自我測驗,以彌補現有電磁教育之不足。各校授課老師亦可針對學生程度、授課時數、教育方針等面向進行綜合評估,於每一個模組內抽選適當之多媒體教材進行輔助教學,達到資源共享之效果。
本計畫模組化教材102年度共包含以下四個課程:
『向量分析、靜電、靜磁』- 元智大學 許恆通教授團隊
『Maxwell方程式、波導與平面波理論』- 逢甲大學 林漢年教授團隊
『頻域、時域傳輸線、史密斯圖及天線』- 台灣科技大學 廖文照教授團隊
『電工實驗及電磁系統導論』 - 中正大學 蔡作敏教授團隊
針對每一課程教材之編纂,本計畫委由領導教授邀集素孚名望的教師,成立跨校工作小組,辦理教材發展與推廣活動。期畫透過跨校整合的聯盟推動機制,凝聚領域內教師之共識,一起成長、提昇,激發出強大的教學、研究能量,使得電磁教學推動能夠更具效率及成效。
Abstract: Ministry of Education Pilot Program for Networking and Communication Manpower Training Project for Electromagnetic Education Promotion Center
Project Duration: 1 Years, from April 2013 to March 2014
Principal Investigator: Tzong-Lin Wu, Professor, National Taiwan University
Co-Principal Investigator: Tzyh-Ghuang Ma, Professor, National Taiwan University of Science and Technology; Shyi-Ching Lin, Deputy Group Leader, National Center for High-Performance Computing
Co-Chair of Steering Committee: Song-Tsuen Peng, Professor, Yuan Ze University
Motivation and Goal:
Electromagnetism has a long history with enormous achievements in both theory and applications and yet remains an important branch of fundamental science and technology, because it is still the basis of many new scientific explorations today. However, the education of electromagnetics requires solid training of physical concepts and mathematical skills that seem to scare away many students. Furthermore, in the age of information explosion, there are so much scientific and technological information published in the literature, the selection of appropriate materials for beginning students becomes an issue. While the demand for electromagnetic-related manpower from the industry is very high, the academic institutions are facing with the difficulty of attracting enough number of students to enter this important area of education.
In order to tackle the problem of manpower needs of industries, the project invites the participation of many well-experienced professors in electromagnetics from the major universities, such as National Taiwan University, National Taiwan University of Science and Technology, Feng Chia University, Yuen Ze University, and National Chung Cheng University. The Project also calls upon National Center for High-Performance Computing for collaboration to develop an internet learning platform, including an eLearning system and multimedia contents to facilitate teaching in class room as well as self-learning of students anytime and anywhere. The Project is expected to provide the training for electromagnetic talents through digital teaching materials and to enhance the quality of electromagnetic education.
Project Strategy and Planning Direction:
The strategy of the present project adopts the “modular approach”, such that the contents will be in the form of building blocks for flexible design of a course. In this way a teacher is free to choose whatever modules for his class according to the preparedness of his students or his own preference. Also, built in the platform is self-learning system including pre-assessment test to suggest a learning path for each student, and a post-evaluation test to determine how much a student has learned. The instructors from different schools may conduct comprehensive evaluation on student level, number of hours of instruction and education guidelines to select the most appropriate multimedia teaching materials from each module and to carry out aided teaching and share resources.
The modularized teaching materials of the project are divided into four groups:
1.“Vector Analysis, Static Electric and Magnetic Fields”, led by Professor Heng-Tung Hsu, Yuen Ze University
2.“Maxwell`s Equations, Waveguide, and Plane-Wave Propagation”, led by Professor Han-Nien Lin, Feng Chia University
3.“Transmission Line theory in Frequency and Time Domains, Smith Chart, and Antennas”, led by Professor Wen-Jiao Liao, National Taiwan University of Science and Technology
4.“Electrical Engineering Experiment and Introduction to Electromagnetic System” led by Professor Zuo-Min Tsai, National Chung Cheng University
Upon the completion of the project, a promotion program will be launched so that any interested universities may participate in test-runs on the learning platform. It is hoped that the feedback from teachers and students will contribute to the follow-up improvement of the system.
