Abstract:

The subject of Electrical Circuits constitutes the basic conceptual nucleus of Electrical Engineering from which Electronic, Telecommunications and Computer Engineering are derived, hence its importance in these degrees that are taught in the Faculty of Engineering of the UNAM, being essential and indispensable as the first subject of Engineering Sciences, since its knowledge is the basis of modern technology.

For the learning process of the students in these subjects, it is required to practice and exercise systematically and constantly. The mathematics required, although not complicated, does require a clear understanding and the methods used can be applied to more complex and advanced circuits.

However, it is considered a difficult and heavy subject, with a lot of mathematical analysis, and because it belongs to the Engineering Sciences, from the first class the students want to carry out practical applications more than to know the theoretical foundations, which is necessary and Essential in this subject.

Available materials are often traditional in content, dense and overwhelming for the student, discouraging them from studying.

In this context, a set of educational resources has been developed and integrated, including an interactive electronic book, a static digital book, executable interactive simulators and other resources, which address the fundamental aspects of the theory. Through these, the analysis can be verified with the results through simulations in the different domains, allowing the knowledge acquired to be used in practical applications so that students assimilate it more easily and effectively.

The author's educational strategy, which has been called the Effective Learning Triangle, effectively combines theory, simulation and practical application, achieving effective and substantial learning in students.

The educational material developed contemplates a clear and concise analysis approach in such a way that students are facilitated in learning, understanding, associating and assimilating the topics, applying and interpreting the circuits and the results obtained from the analysis.

The fundamentals of the topics of Electrical systems, Analysis of electrical circuits in the permanent sinusoidal state, Power and three-phase electrical circuits, General methods of analysis of electrical networks, Theorems of electrical networks and Two-port networks are addressed.

The integration of the various developed educational resources that are presented arises from the initial idea of bringing together a whole series of materials, slides, notes, class notes, and other educational resources emanating from the teaching experience of many years of the author, hoping that it can be useful for the students who take the subject, in which it is sought that the students have an accessible, attractive and youthful material.

This article presents the methodology used for the development of educational resources, as well as the description of the resources themselves and the results of their integration.
