Product dissection activities are widely practiced in engineering education as a means of increasing student learning and understanding of core engineering concepts. While recent efforts in this area of research have sought to develop and utilize virtual dissection tools in order to reduce and mitigate the costs of physical dissection activities, little data exists on how virtual dissection impacts student learning and understanding. This lack of data makes it difficult to draw conclusions on the utility of virtual dissection tools for enhancing engineering instruction. In this paper we present the results of a controlled experiment conducted with first-year engineering students developed to examine the impact of virtual dissection on engineering student learning and self-efficacy. Our results revealed that student learning appeared to be unaffected through the use of virtual dissection environments. However, electro-mechanical self-efficacy gains were smaller for students who performed virtual dissection compared to students who performed physical dissection. These results add to our knowledge of the impact that virtual dissection tools can have on student learning and understanding and enable us to develop recommendations and guidelines for improving the effectiveness of these tools in engineering education.

This study aims to determine whether there is a relationship between classroom management and student achievement in the Building Engineering Education Department, The Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Negeri Manado, and look for obstacles or obstacles that inhibit the success of student learning while looking for efforts to overcome these problems. This research method is correlational research. The results of a simple linear regression analysis of the variables of classroom management and student achievement in the Building Egineering Education Department, Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Negeri Manado obtained the equation of the regression line ỷ = 34.80 + 0.42 X, which illustrates that if class management increases by one unit, student achievement will increase amounting to 0.361 units. Similarly, the results obtained that the regression model is good enough, because based on the model deviation test shows that the deviation is not significant at the 5% test level in this case F (Calculate) = 0.73 <F (Table) = 2.43. Thus, the regression equation above can be used to estimate or predict learning achievement (Y) if class management (X) is known. The results of testing the hypothesis, it is evident that the classroom management variables (X) have a positive and significant effect on student learning achievement at the Building Egineering Education at Universitas Negeri Manado. Based on these results, there is a significant and positive relationship between classroom management and student achievement in the Building Egineering Education Department students at Universitas Negeri Manado.

The authors examine the changes and opportunities in the educational environment that will occur as packaged courseware and virtual access to laboratories are assimilated into the engineering curriculum worldwide. The impact on Universities and in turn on Canadian industry will be major unless there is a coordinated effort that can turn the challenge into an opportunity. The opportunity, the authors believe, is to use this new material to allow innovative approaches to education that use Design to direct student learning. The major benefits would be a greater appreciation of technology and practice and significantly improved communication skills, (both of which are regarded as essential by industrial employers). The authors believe that the engineering science background would be enhanced rather than weakened by the approach suggested.

The purpose of this study was to find out: (1) Development of power point-based learning media on Aqeedah Moral learning in MTs N Kisaran, (2) The feasibility of power point-based learning media on learning Aqidah Akhlak in MTsN Kisaran, (3) Practicality of learning-based media power point on the learning of Aqeedah Morals in MTs N Range, and (4) effectiveness of learning media based on power point on the learning of Aqeedah Morals in MTsN Kisaran in improving student learning outcomes. Research methods used by research and development methods (R&D). Product development procedures are carried out in stages: (1) potential and problems, (2) data collection, (3) product design, (4) validation, (5) product trials and (6) product revisions. The research findings show: (1) the development of power point-based learning media on Aqeedah Akhlak learning is done first by analyzing the needs and then proceed with the design of powerpoint media. The product produced as a learning medium that is used to facilitate students to learn, (2) the feasibility of power point-based learning media on Aqeedah Moral learning is done by material experts with a score of 83.33, a very valid category and a media expert with a score of 75.00 categories valid, so the cumulative score is 79.16 with a valid category, (3) practicality of power point-based learning media on Aqeedah Akhlak is done by conducting individual trials with a score of 80.83 very practical categories, small group trials with a score of 79.38 practical categories, and field group trials with a score of 89.75 very practical categories, so that when accumulated a score of 83.33 is obtained with a very practical category, and (4) the effectiveness of powerpoint-based learning media on Aqidah Moral learning in improving student learning outcomes obtained N scores -Gain 0.51 with the effective category so that it can be concluded that the powerpoint development product for learning the Morals is effective for enhancing student achievement.
