 'How to use this template
  1. Start by inserting Bibliographic data in the corresponding Section below. Using APA-style is preferred. Most important, however, is that the data is correct and allows to locate the publication.
  2. If the publication is available for download on the internet insert the corresponding link in the Section External reference.
  3. Add abstract if available# When done editing, save page.
  4. When in reading mode, add suitable tags/categories by pressing the tag symbol on the bottom of the page. The following types of tags are needed:
    • The tag PublishedWork which will be used automatically if you use this template.
    • A tag referring to the PublicationType such as e.g. Article, Book, or Poster. See Category:PublishedWork for a full list of currently available tags.
    • Tags to the academic discipline the publication is related to like Linguistics or Physics. If the published work is not related to a specific discipline, use the tag General.
    • One tag for each author's name (in the form Lastname, Initial1 Initial2; please put initials without finals dots, i.e. Doe, J rather than Doe, J.)
    • A tag referring to the year of publication as a four digit number, e.g. 2025.
  5. Edit once again and delete the whole Box How to use this Template and save your changes.


Abstract

Electrical engineering introductury courses (EE 101) are said to be the most difficult. This paper shows a way to help students overcome typical problems in the analysis of electrical networks with series and parallel resistors, which are one of the biggest challenges for first year students. The expertise for network analysis has been elucidated with the "Decoding the Disciplines" approach. Besides, students behaviour when doing a problem solving task has been analysed with a game design approach to find elements for uplifting the lecturing. As a result the missing element of guidance and hints could be identified. Often students did not now where to start and how to proceed in circuit analysis. To guide the students during the solving process a flowchart is presented in this paper which helped students to tackle the problem solving.
