. Expressing concern thata good foundation be the base of any "modern" pedagogy, the author of this paper reviews a book written in themid 1800's by Dr. John Milton Gregory,1 a well known educator. Entitled The Seven Laws of Teaching, theobjective of the book was "to set forth, in a certain systematic order, the principles of the art of teaching." First published in 1884, Dr. Gregory's book was subsequently revised and reissued in 1917 by W.C.Bagley and W.K. Layton of the University of Illinois. In the book, Dr. Gregory sets forth the following "laws":(1) The Law of the Teacher - A teacher must be one who knows the lesson or truth or art to be taught; (2)The Law of the Learner - A learner is one who attends with interest to the lesson; (3) The

the interactive stiffness assembly procedure. Once the appropriate HTML document is loaded, theassembly applet is executed on the host computer and on the terminal screen the student is presented with theelement stiffness matrices. The matrix assemble applet is shown in Figure 3. The force-displacement relationshipsof elements 1 and 2 are shown in Figure 3 in terms of global node numbers. The element stiffness matrix is oforder 2 x 2 since it relates two nodal forces to two nodal displacements, i.e., ~ = ~, ~,. The student thendefines the size of the global force-displacement relationship for the problem. S~~e the mesh contains 3 nodeswith one degree of freedom per node, the force-displacement equation relates 3 nodal forces to 3 nodal

The third issue awakens students to fundamental differences between a continuous analogsignal and its digital representation. Once the analog signal has been sampled it becomes an arrayof numbers, and the FFT just manipulates one array of numbers into another array of numbers.The burden is on the user to know how to associate physical meaning to those arrays. It is clear tostudents that the “time” array, Sal in Fig. 1, represents samples of the continuous signal s(t) taken atuniform time intervals delta-t. But it comes as a surprise that the

This paper presents some preliminary results for the eight departments that constitute thecollege of Engineering.
