However, whenthey try to do the homework, they often encounter difficulties. They then have to wait to meet atutor or instructor to ask a question and so valuable study time and interest is lost. MasteringEngineering is an online component of the textbook that our university uses. Homework usingMastering Engineering has been a useful tool by giving immediate feedback and help to students.Leveling the Playing FieldIn this age of technology, everyone has access to solutions of homework problems.

With the explosion of digital technologies in recent years,computer simulation and animation have drawn great interest as a tool to teach and learnDynamics. The concepts and problem-solving processes are presented in a dynamic environmentthat allows interactivity. Students can observe and interact with computer representations ofphysical phenomena, and develop deeper understanding of critical concepts.

In spite ofthis disagreement, there remains much that can be learned from this literature about howwidespread these misconceptions are and how persistent they are, even under what isgenerally considered “good” instruction. Although these studies list many student mis-conceptions, none offer good, reliable, valid assessment instruments that can be used byinstructors in a “production” mode to judge the adequacy of their instruction.One of the significant hindrances to reform in science, technology, engineering and math-ematics (STEM

However, we mustmove away from traditional canned experiments, with step by step instructions and knownoutcomes, to open ended experiments that challenge students intellectually and encouragecreativity.

Technology for commercial extraction of oil from seedis well developed. Processes are largely mechanical andinvolve types of equipment familiar to farm people., so on-farm production of the oil is conceivable. A secondsuggested concept is to locate processing plants ascooperative or privately-owned businesses in communitiesclose to the region where the oil will be used.
