Abstract

Laplace transform (LT) is a well-known and powerful tool in analysing and designing electrical systems, however, it is still a difficult subject for many students. LT is a computationally intense subject, and many students say that it was difficult to understand and master. Mathematica, Maple and MATLAB can be used to compute LT and Inverse LT; however, the results are hard to interpret. Manual calculation is a must to understand the dynamic behaviour of dynamic systems including electrical circuits and to be able to interpret the computer-generated results. The main goal of this research is to find out the difficulties that students face in understanding LT and to provide a pedagogical approach to enhance students’ learning. The paper reviews the way LT is introduced in textbooks, related published research, students’ prospects and evaluation to the proposed model. The paper also sheds light on the application of AI in LT active learning.
