Abstract

This paper presents an interactive virtual breadboard system that provides automated guidance to electrical engineering students working on electronic circuits labs. The primary contribution of the paper is the unique invariant representation of the state of the breadboard, which enables instructors to develop their own lab assignments with a set of customized hints. The paper describes the invariant state representation and its implementation in the virtual breadboard system. It also presents results of a pilot test demonstrating that using this system achieves the goal of reducing the workload of teaching assistants.
