, American Society for Engineering EducationConclusions The need for students to be able to visualize in three dimensions is essential. Currentlow-cost visualization systems offer great promise for education in that they are cost-feasible andhold promise for new pedagogical methods. The applications described herein have beensuccessfully applied to undergraduate education and form a basis of future work. Systemcapabilities of visualization systems are driven by the application, and it is found that forclassroom instruction, it is necessary to have a tracked wand interface.References[1] P. C.

Other features mentioned this year were that the simulation package could be mounted in the student’s own PC and that the results from the simulation were more reproducible than from the web-based apparatus. A number of students in 2003 also mentioned the variety of situations available in the simulation.2) The best feature(s) of the web-experiment site

Experienced users movedfrom infrequent usage to usage equivalent to that of a newer, simpler curve tracer. New usersseem to prefer using the interface, although that preference may be a function of classroomrequirements. When asked the best and worst features of each instrument, complaints centeredaround the 370’s size, age, and the transistor sockets rather than the user interface: only onecomplaint was received concerning software problems.

by beginning with dc circuits, introduce circuittheorems, then possibly teach dependent sources and the operational amplifier, introduceinductors and capacitors followed by first-order RL and RC circuits, then transition to ac circuitsusing phasor analysis. Subsequently there appears to be two major approaches. Some will teachfrequency response and three-phase power using only phasor analysis, while others willintroduce Laplace transforms and do ac circuits using Laplace analysis.Up to the early 1990’s essentially all circuits courses that were taught solved only analysisproblems – that is, circuit problems were usually constructed so that students determined anoutput of a circuit given one or more inputs.

) and the Technology Accreditation Commission (TAC) of the AccreditationBoard of Engineering and Technology, Inc. (ABET) [1,2]. Designing curricula and courses thatutilize these modern tools without short-changing coverage of classical engineering theory canbe a delicate balance. Consider the use of finite element analysis (FEA) software. In the1970’s and early 1980’s, most courses in FEA courses were taught at the graduate level, withheavy emphasis on theory. Later in the 1980’s and into the 1990’s, FEA classes were added atthe undergraduate level, as use of the tool became more widespread in industry. Becausecommercial FEA programs were complex to learn and use, it was difficult to combine significanttheory with instruction in how to use a

://web.umr.edu/~saygin/AbstractSince 1980’s, Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) has dramatically changed the way ofmanufacturing in all industries as well as the way manufacturing courses are taught. Amongmany worldwide CIM programs offered at various universities, some are more applicationoriented, some focus more on the business aspects, and some put more emphasis on theinformation technology behind the CIM concept. Over the last decade, CIM had evolved into anewer concept, namely Computer Integrated Enterprise (CIE), due to the advancements in thearea of information technology and its applications in e-business. Nevertheless, there is still agap between the shop floor and the upper level functions, such as enterprise resource planning.This paper
