CATIA is a software for computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aidedmanufacturing (CAM), computer-aided engineering (CAE), developed by Dassault Systems [1].In CATIA, finite element analysis (FEA) is used for approximating the statics analysis. Studentsin this class must meet the pre-requisite courses of: basic aircraft science, graphicalcommunication and spatial analysis, mathematics, and physics.Engineering technology courses typically consist of lecture and lab components. However, theoriginal lab of statics course was designed to be implemented in a computer lab, where studentsare using CATIA to conduct static analysis. CATIA is widely used by many

Beforebuilding an arch bridge, students will learn the way to calculate the length of both the bottom andtop panels of each piece through the application of a trigonometry formula. Then, students willcut out designated pieces of wood using the results from their mathematical calculations; thesepieces will be assembled to make an arch bridge. Through this design activity, students will learnconcepts of trigonometry in a practical hands-on activity which incorporates an authentic designtask. Lesson Information 1. Time: 3 hours 2.

The purpose ofAhn’s study was to identify mentors who were effective instructors and to develop a survey toassess mentoring abilities in an undergraduate research setting. Based on results of anexploratory factor analysis of the survey data, four main effective mentoring strategies wereidentified: 1) the mentor’s willingness to work with the mentee in a research setting; 2) thementor’s ability to identify the mentee’s research knowledge and skills, and provideindividualized support; 3) the mentor being attentive to the daily tasks

The objectives of the paper areto (1) create an intelligent tutoring system to teach basic understanding of G-code, and (2)evaluate the learning gains from the system, and (3) summarize lessons learned from theimplementation.

Instruction in effectivecourse design and classroom instruction is, therefore, of particular importance for faculty that areselected largely for high level skills in their discipline and a promising agenda of research. Asnoted by Felder [1]: As everyone knows, skilled professionals routinely receive training before being certified to practice independently. Electricians, machinists and chefs get preliminary instruction and then serve for months or years as apprentices. Accountants, psychologists and physicists and physicians spend years earning degrees in their fields, and the physicians spend additional years in supervised internships and residencies.
