The mechanical engineeringtechnology (MET) concentration was started in 2004 fall and currently we have approximatelyone hundred majors. Our students are required to take several ET and MET courses includingEngineering Fundamentals and Vibration. Our objective is to introduce hands-on projects in asmany courses as possible so that the students better understand the theory and its applications toengineering systems and components. We feel there is a great need for such projects to alleviatethe fear of mathematics in our students in courses such as Vibration. In this paper, we look atthree

This legal construct, as written in the US Copyright Code (Title 17, section107) 14 enables use of copywritten materials to be used for educational purposes. While tempting,due to technical simplicity and convenience, copying films either entirely or in extended clips,should be avoided as it may constitute copyright infringement. Also, different rules may apply tooff-air taped materials and use of films in fee-based workshops or training5.Advantages and Disadvantages of Educational Film UseFilms are a very familiar medium to contemporary students, and that helps to maintain studentinterest in class subject.

First, it isacknowledged that both engineers and military officers are considered to be part of a professionrather than an occupation. Both have a base set of skills and knowledge that requires in depthtraining, whether technical engineering skills or tactical military skills, which is particularlyimportant to public safety and public well being.
