This maze of complex tunnels is totallyinvisible from the outside and can only be appreciated if rendered in three-dimensions. Thispaper will show how these pyramids were modeled in SL to help the students interactivelyexplore these invisible features of the pyramids and understand the symbol behind variousfeatures of engineering and architectural features. Assessment of the outcome of this project,included quizzing the students on the information pertaining to features hidden inside thepyramids as shown in SL models, and the relationship between a place and the cultural aspectconnected to the function it serves.

properly during the projected presentations, most of the motions were lost inthe recorded versions. This is because a new slide image would be captured only at the end ofeach animation step. On playback then, animations would appear somewhat disjointed. Also,the recording of a new slide image with each animation step resulted in many slightly changingcopies of each Powerpoint slide appearing in the timestamp and slide preview windows of therecording. This made searching and forwarding in the captured lecture a little more cumbersomefor students.The audio stream for the recordings was captured from a USB wireless microphone worn by theinstructor.

Furthermore, theimplementation of a design project that involves an application of the knowledge gained from thetutorials is also discussed.Introduction The finite element (FE) method is a widely used tool in industry for analyzing engineering problems. The most basic FE theory and applications are offered primarily as a graduate- level course, or in some cases, as an upper-level

In the designproject, automated system perform different kinds of process in assembly line, such as cartridge loading,point fitting, ink filling, plug fitting, gas charging and cap installing and final sealing.

Several programs such as STEM summer programs and internshipshave been developed to address these issues, but to a large extent, such programs are short-term based.Additionally, they mostly target high school students; are only applicable in one grade level; or are onetime project-based events. What would be the impact of systematically exposing PK through high schoolstudents to engineering concepts, applications, and career opportunities on a long-term, continuous basisat each grade level? If students are constantly reminded that engineering is part of their daily lives, thiscould generate a lifetime interest in the engineering profession and engage them in benefiting humanity.The
