Graphical simulation for electronics lectures

Abstract

A series of simulation and demonstration programs have been written using the Microsoft Windows operating system to illustrate various topics in electronics and circuit theory. Traditional chalk board or overhead projection methods have proved impractical in material such as the simulation of diode junction effects, or inflexible in demonstrations such as the synthesis of Bode plot approximations. The paper concludes with a brief discussion of the place of computer-based presentations in technical lecturing.<>
