This paper discusses the development of a Virtual RealityModeling Language (VRML) application to be used in an undergraduate fluid mechanics courseat Lamar University. Simple fluid flow problems such as fully developed flow in a pipe aresolved by an application written in Java programming language. The solutions obtained aredisplayed in a VRML application that also provides user interaction. Users can change certainparameters of each problem within a given range, and the VRML application provides thesolution of the problem with new parameters.NomenclatureH

etching techniques are conveyedto the student and allow an important understanding of their impact on design and ultimately thefinal structure. After the background material is covered, the concept of transducers isestablished. This begins with an introduction to the ideas of energy domains and the transfer ofenergy between domains. Finally, the lecture series is directed to the production of MEMSdevices, typically sensors and actuators. The remainder of the term is dedicated to understandingcritical issues in the complete microsystem, such as impact of the various choices in packaging,integration and partitioning of electronics, and power issues.

Developing and improving these techniques is an area that has beenstudied for many decades and will continue evolving for many years to come. As an educator, onehas to find teaching methods which best fit the subject matter and provide a learning experiencethat eventually will improve the professional practice 1 .

Although not widely used in Engineering programs, this instrument may have increasing utility in coming years given the strong emphasis on student engagement. In Spring Semester 2022, we gave the MUSIC Inventory to 35 first-year engineering students at Michigan Technological University using a pre/post course method.

Similarly, Olds & Miller [18] examined thecumulative GPAs of multiple student cohorts, but the analysis compared students across groups (thosewho participated in an integrated curriculum intervention and a control) rather than studying the shifts andtrajectories of students’ GPAs without intervention.In this work, we seek to fill this gap by studying students’ GPA over time.

This “just-in-time” curricular approach emphasizes the integrated, holistic nature ofreality – one cannot neatly separate the broader issues from the detailed technical aspects.Unfortunately, this approach often shortchanges the larger issues since they are only touched onin passing.

There are many techniques that are used for this, but we thinkonly one, traditional sketching, is being taught, and the reason why it is being taught is usuallythe idea of working in the absence of a computer rather than the nature and needs of conceptualdesign. we are very conscious of the main problem of parsing: excluding essential information.Informal Design GraphicsWe are not yet sure what the informal graphics curriculum for conceptual design should look likeand this paper is only an
