Abstract

In various engineering computation, formulas play a key role. Pure mathematical relationships have always been a challenge for students. If an attractive method can be used to memorize the different parameters in the formulas with innovative methods, there is a good incentive for the student to gain a deeper understanding of mathematical equations. In this paper, this method is applied to the vehicle power relation, and proposed idea is formed with the help of various images. Choosing a suitable image that represents a concept has subtleties. By looking at these images and the answers received, the appropriate images can be selected. For implementation, different methods are introduced in the classroom. These practices are expressed in the form of classroom activities as well as extracurricular activities. To apply the proposed method, students’ participation in the class can be used well and assignments can also be allocated individually or in groups. Variety in the methods used and the type of exercises can each enhance some of the students’ skills. This method has been implemented for several semesters in both undergraduate and graduate levels. A survey of students shows the effectiveness of the proposed method in perpetuating the parameters in a mathematical formula.
