摘要:

AbstractEfforts are being made to develop practical and effective innovations for undergraduate engineering teaching laboratories. The “ANEX” process, in which computer simulations are compared in nearly real time with physical measurements made on bench‐scale model experiments, is now being used successfully in an introductory structural analysis course. ANEX is described, as well as current plans to develop software simulation modules and matched, bench‐scale model experiments for new “MECH‐ANEX” laboratory applications in lower‐division statics and mechanics of materials courses. The ANEX process could also be adapted to undergraduate laboratory applications in a wider range of engineering and science disciplines. © 1996 John

摘要:

AbstractUsing hypermedia techniques, an interactive presentation package, Virtual Aerospace Laboratory for Undergraduate Education (VALUE), for the Macintosh computer has been developed to aid undergraduates. Real‐life examples include movies of low‐speed and supersonic flows, vortex motions, generation of lift, and various flight maneuvers and responses. The current package is being used as a supplement in such courses as junior‐level aerodynamics, senior‐level aircraft dynamics, and aerospace engineering laboratories. A structural framework for adding additional material was developed, and a consistent and user‐friendly interface was constructed and tested. This article focuses on the recent developments to make the package more flexible and interactive. © 1996 John Wiley

摘要:

AbstractInexpensive, safe, computer‐controlled laboratory experiments which use modern sensors, digital storage oscilloscopes, and data acquisition units were developed for National Science Foundation Faculty Enhancement Workshops offered at Bucknell University. Although the experiments are simple in construction, rather complex data analysis using MATLAB or Excel applies. Detailed descriptions of the experiments will be available on the Internet.© 1996 John Wiley&Sons, In

AbstractIn this article we describe an integrated suite of multimedia and simulation software developed to support the teaching of mechanics of materials. The materials are designed to support both classroom presentation and student‐directed learning, provide direct manipulation and visualization, and foster exploration and experimentation. © 1996 John Wiley&Sons, I

摘要:

AbstractWith the availability of a variety of software for multimedia development and CD‐ROM mastering and the growing capabilities of the hardware for personal computers, there has been a significant increase in interest in the development and production of multimedia modules for education. In this article we briefly highlight some of the multimedia CD‐ROMs developed by the CAEME Center for Multimedia Education and Technology. The tradeoffs involved in these developments are highlighted and procedures for enhancing students interactivity in using and learning from these lesson are described. More recent research and development efforts by CAEME to use virtual reality technology in education are also discussed. © 1996 John Wiley&Sons,

摘要:

AbstractFast‐paced industry technologies originally demanded more of a mechatronic education than the academic arena was easily and comprehensibly able to provide: Traditional curricula in mechanical, electrical, and computer engineering are mutually exclusive, and within these disciplines the area of control system design is largely split among them, resulting in either a highly specialized or disparately bridged educational experience. However, emerging technologies increasingly demand conceptualization, communication, design, and fabrication skills in each field simultaneously. As a polytechnic institute, Rensselaer is meeting this challenge by augmenting students' educational experience with the necessary principles of mechatronic design and recruiting industry to provide direct motivation through interactive collaboration on relevant, current‐day problem solutions under the mechatronic paradigm. In this article we present some of the tactics and examples we have successfully used to extend the practical knowledge and skills of our graduates to fluency and proficiency in synergistic, mechatronic design. © 1996 John Wiley&Sons,

摘要:

AbstractMultimedia technology integrates the computing power of computers, with potentials offered by media such as full‐motion video, sound, text, graphics, and animation. Use of this technology allows developers to take advantage of the flexibility, effectiveness, and innovations in a number of technologies to produce tools that enhance the teaching/learning process in a variety of fields. A project is under way to develop a multimedia book for a first course in structural steel design offered by civil and architectural engineering programs. The software, currently being tested at The Pennsylvania State University, is being developed with collaboration of a number of sources including the American Institute of Steel Construction, and is expected to be distributed widely upon its completion in 1996. © 1996 John Wiley&Sons, I
