Abstract: the effective teaching of power supply basics is critical for developing the next generation of electrical engineers. Educational simulators play a vital role in this process by providing a hands-on learning experience. However, the efficiency and effectiveness of these simulators are heavily dependent on the underlying coding approach. This paper presents strategies for optimizing the coding process of educational simulators dedicated to electrical power supply basics. We explore methodologies that enhance learning outcomes, improve simulator responsiveness, and ensure scalability and adaptability to various educational settings.

Understanding the fundamentals of electrical power supply is essential for students pursuing careers in electrical engineering and related fields. Traditional teaching methods, while effective to a certain extent, often fail to fully engage students or provide the practical experience necessary for mastering complex concepts [1, 2]. Educational simulators emerge as a powerful tool to bridge this gap, offering interactive learning experiences that can significantly enhance comprehension and retention of theoretical knowledge.
The efficiency of these simulators, however, is contingent upon the coding approach employed in their development. An optimized coding strategy can lead to simulators that are not only more effective as educational tools but also more accessible and enjoyable for students. This paper discusses the importance of adopting best practices in software development, focusing on modularity, user experience (UX) design principles, and the integration of adaptive learning technologies to improve the educational impact of simulators in teaching electrical power supply basics [3, 4].
Recent studies highlight the growing importance of interactive learning tools in engineering education. Simulators, in particular, have been shown to increase student engagement and understanding of complex concepts. The literature suggests that the effectiveness of these simulators is significantly influenced by their design and development approach. Key areas of focus include software architecture, usability, and the incorporation of pedagogical principles into the coding process.
Our approach to optimizing the coding of educational simulators involves three primary strategies:
1. Modular Design: Implementing a modular coding architecture to facilitate easy updates, scalability, and customization of the simulator.
2. User Experience (UX) Design: Focusing on UX design principles to make simulators intuitive, engaging, and effective for learners.
3. Adaptive Learning Integration: Incorporating adaptive learning algorithms to personalize the educational content based on the user's progress and understanding.
We evaluate the effectiveness of these strategies through a combination of qualitative feedback from educators and quantitative data on student performance and engagement.
We propose a modular framework where each component of the electrical power supply system is coded as an independent module. This design allows for easy modification and expansion of the simulator, facilitating its adaptation to cover a wider range of topics within electrical power supply basics [4, 5].
The application of UX design principles is critical in developing educational simulators. A user-centered design process ensures that the simulator is not only informative but also engaging and easy to navigate. This includes the implementation of interactive elements, real-time feedback mechanisms, and a visually appealing interface.
By integrating adaptive learning technologies, the simulator can adjust the difficulty level and the presented content based on the learner's performance. This personalized learning experience is achieved through the analysis of user input and progress, allowing the simulator to identify knowledge gaps and adjust the learning pathway accordingly.
Preliminary testing indicates that simulators developed using our optimized coding approach are more effective in teaching the basics of electrical power supply. Students reported higher levels of engagement and demonstrated a better understanding of complex concepts [6]. Additionally, educators found the simulators to be valuable teaching aids, appreciating their adaptability and the ease with which they could integrate them into their curriculum.
The optimization of coding approaches for educational simulators focusing on the basics of electrical power supply marks a pivotal shift in the paradigm of engineering education. This shift not only addresses the immediate need for more interactive and practical learning methods but also sets a new standard for how complex engineering concepts can be taught and understood [7, 8]. By emphasizing a modular design, the development process becomes more agile and flexible, allowing for simulators to be easily updated and tailored to specific educational requirements. This adaptability is crucial in a field that is constantly evolving, as it ensures that educational tools can keep pace with the latest advancements in electrical engineering. Moreover, the focus on improving user experience (UX) through intuitive interfaces and engaging content makes learning more accessible and enjoyable for students. This approach democratizes education by lowering the barriers to understanding complex subjects, thereby attracting a wider audience to the field of engineering.
Incorporating adaptive learning technologies into simulators represents another leap forward, offering a personalized learning experience that can adjust to the unique pace and style of each learner. This method of teaching acknowledges the diverse backgrounds and learning abilities of students, providing them with a customized pathway that maximizes their understanding and retention of electrical power supply concepts. The use of data analytics to tailor the learning experience not only helps in identifying areas where students struggle but also in highlighting their strengths, fostering a more balanced and comprehensive educational journey [9]. This individualized approach encourages students to engage deeply with the material, potentially leading to higher levels of mastery and enthusiasm for the subject matter.
Looking ahead, the long-term impacts of these optimized educational simulators on learning outcomes and their integration into various educational settings hold vast potential for exploration. Future research could delve into the efficacy of these simulators in different cultural and educational contexts, examining their role in bridging educational gaps and promoting equity in STEM education. Additionally, studies could investigate how these tools affect students' career choices and their preparedness for the challenges of modern engineering roles. As the global demand for skilled engineers continues to grow, the role of innovative educational tools in preparing students to meet these challenges becomes increasingly significant. By continuously refining and expanding the capabilities of

educational simulators, developers can contribute to a more knowledgeable, skilled, and
diverse engineering workforce, ready to tackle the complex problems of the future.
