| Abstract: | This bachelor thesis presents the research and development of an interactive learning demonstrator for the study of electrical engineering at the University of Twente open days. Initially, research was conducted to identify core principles suitable for an interactive learning tool that would promote engagement, excitement, and accuracy. This involved a literature review and a state-of-the-art analysis. The research indicated that power principles could efficiently be explained using an analogy related to physical human effort, to facilitate engagement. Using this information, a prototype was created to allow users to discover information through interaction and observation, linking physical effort to power generation. Participants could cycle to generate wattage which was then related to common household appliances. Through the utilisation of user tests the prototype was finalised demonstrating its potential to inspire potential first-year electrical engineering students. Nonetheless there are improvements to be made for future iterations. |
