engineering programs across the U.S. declined 34% between1997 and 20061 and The University of Tulsa (TU) has mirrored this trend. This same period oftime saw significant changes in the technology infrastructure at TU in the College of Engineeringand Natural Sciences. Every classroom was equipped with a computer console and display forinstruction. All engineering departments established computer laboratories for their students inaddition to the numerous facilities available to all students. WiFi was installed campus-wide.Two instructional laboratories were created with computers for 20 or 30 students.In 2007 and 2008, the public watched the price for a barrel of oil rise to unprecedented levels.Salaries for engineers prepared to work in the petroleum

in designing structural solutions is a noted problem for some engineering graduates26,27.Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, Inc. (ABET, Inc.) expects engineeringgraduates to have: “an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering toolsnecessary for engineering practice”14 such as FE analysis. Hence, schools have, or are planningto, add FE analysis to their curriculum1-5,10, but this plan is not happening quickly enough tomeet the demand of firms competing in the global economy. To support schools in theirteaching efforts, the finite element exercises developed in this work will provide a valuable, web-based resource to engineering instructors throughout the world.An NSF funded Course, Curriculum, and Lab

The main learning objective of the assignment helps to further theattainment of the “Contemporary Issues and Historical Perspectives” outcome from theBOK, but the project also aides in the development of the “Communication” outcome.Specifically, the project develops historical perspective in the students by requiring themto consider several historical issues as they affected the career of their subject engineer.Each report must address the following: 1. Discuss the technological context of the historical period in which your subject lived and worked. What constituted standard engineering practice of the day? What construction techniques and analytical methods were employed? What con
