According to enquiry-based learning theory and experiences in teaching Electric Circuits course, this paper presents a problem-based teaching model designed for transient response of dynamic circuits. Guided by some questions designed by teachers, students go through three processes: enquiry-based teaching and learning, problem-based simulation, and enquiry-based seminar. The knowledge of dynamic circuits is taught, and the circumstance of scientific enquiry is also set up to help students’ research. It is proved that the model can help students to understand knowledge much better, and it can also develop their ability of self-exploration.
