These results indicate that many students do not understand or do not appreciate the model nature of circuit analysis in electrical engineering. Moreover, this lack of understanding or appreciation may affect their performance on standard tasks in circuit analysis, especially those that require a functional understanding of electric potential.enAllgemeines, WissenschaftErziehung, Schul- und BildungswesenTechnikIngenieurwissenschaftenInvestigating and addressing student difficulties in introductory electrical engineeringConference PaperConference Paper
