Abstract
The research in this paper describes the development of STEM based instructional tools for transmission line engineering courses. The research tools consisted of the experimental set and GUI simulation program for characteristic impedance and standing wave measurement. The sampling group were 17 students registered in the communication network and transmission lines engineering course in semester year 2/2015 at King Mongkut's University of Technology North Bangkok. The research results shown that the quality of research tools evaluated by 7 experts was appropriate with an average value equal to 4.22 from a maximum of 5 points. The developed instructional package had efficiency equal to 1.15 which is in accord to the standard criteria of Meguigans's formula. Moreover, the learning achievement between pretest and posttest score was significantly difference at the .05 level. In conclusion, the developed instructional tools can be used effectively in the teaching of telecommunication engineering education.
