碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 土木工程學系 === 99 === Engineering Material Laboratory is one of the basic courses of Civil Engineering for undergraduate students. The objective of the course is to introduce the properties and relationship between materials which later will greatly help students in other advanced Civic Engineering courses. In traditional Engineering Material Laboratory class, safety procedure, time management and experiment-material costs are the essential limitations, however, give students neither less nor even no chance to review or repeat the experiments from time to time. Using computer capacity and internet efficiency to create an online Civic Material Laboratory platform, this thesis attempts to overcome the restriction in traditional experiment course for students to be able to review the experiments anytime and anywhere. Furthermore, to increase students’ interest, this learning platform is designed as computer games. It’s aimed that through games, students learns the basic knowledge and skills of Civic Engineering students that shall have. Following, the system is verified via civil students and non-civil students. After work, comparing the grades of the pre-test to the post-test, the positive difference show that students’ learning effects are improving. The results of verification reveal that the system is useful for assisting students in learning the Engineering Material Laboratory course.
