. Themain objective of the Computational Modeling course is to study the fundamentals of numericalmethods and to develop computer programs for solving engineering problems using MATLAB.Examples of numerical methods include solving roots of equations, linear algebraic equations,integration and differentiation. Assessment of this effort was accomplished with supplementarycourse evaluation questions given at the end of the semester. This paper will discuss the resultsof the student projects and evaluations, and the authors’ experiences with this intradisciplinaryteaching effort.IntroductionThis paper presents efforts over two semesters to integrate course materials between twosophomore level engineering courses. The two courses, Statics (ENGR 2001
