Knowledge Representation of DC Electrical Circuits Analysis for E-Courses ??? From Basic Concepts to Long-Term Strategies

This paper describes a work in progress which consists in representing knowledge related to the analysis of DC elecatrical circuits taught to electrical engineering undergraduate students. In this paper, emphasis is put on the explicit representation of resolution strategies which span covers several steps, or the entire resolution process. To that end, a domain-independent cognitive-computational knowledge representation model is used, specially adapted to handle the description of long-term strategies. The resulting modelled knowledge is taught through an intelligent tutoring system
