Abstract
Teaching electrical engineering subjects in higher education can be challenging for most engineering faculty educators, as it contains a high level of abstraction by nature. Hence, the objective of this paper is to carry out short-term experimental studies of the students in their first year of the diploma electrical engineering (power) programme at i-CATS University College using social learning strategies. The results show the implementation of the methodology applied is very effective in helping the students learn better, as their both international and external engineering theory assessments have improved significantly.
