for engineers, designers, and others. Through the Internet, 3D CADand VR could bridge the communication gap between people on design teams to allow them getinvolved and accomplish product design in a collaborative approach. Schmitz (1995) agreed thatVR offers an opportunity to take further steps toward improving communication between thedesigner and the others involved in the design process. The VR package such as eye phones andheadpieces, headphones and earphones, data gloves and touch sensors, and software fordeveloping virtual worlds are extremely expensive. A complete system offered by VPLResearch or W. Industries Ltd. starts at $55,000 and can reach up to $250,000. Therefore, VR isnot something that students can enjoy.In this paper a low

algorithm. However, we have recentlydeveloped a new method [4] for solving these types of problems that uses a differential form ofthe phase equilibria constraints that are solved through numerical integration. This secondapproach, in the example presented in this work, has a computational speed up relative to a root-finding algorithm of about 30. We also revisit a combined approach [5, 6] which allows for largersteps to be taken in the independent variable.This paper sets up as follows. First we provide a typical example problem that a chemicalengineering student might be required to solve. Next, we develop the solution to this problemusing a root-finding algorithm (here, Newton-Raphson). Third, we introduce and solve theexample problem using our

Theyneed to realize the importance of finishing a project on time.Since the Engineering Materials course was obviously in need of a new approach, I decided touse the opportunity to have the students practice some of these skills that I had observed wereneeded in industry. This paper explains the variation, developed by this author, on the typicalteam-based learning method. The “lecture method” is partially maintained but is used only toexplain certain concepts that students have difficulty grasping or to answer specific questionsraised by a student. The remaining class time is used for “team-based learning,” where it isintended that students work together to
