introduction to fundamental concepts and engineering practice related toanalysis of systems in static equilibrium. As perhaps the most fundamental course underpinningprofessional-level study and engineering practice for the civil and mechanical disciplines, this courseprovides the necessary background for study of Mechanics of Materials, Structural Analysis, StructuralDynamics, and many other courses requiring a fundamental understanding of static equilibrium, andrelated phenomena. Through homework, quizzes, and exams, students demonstrate competence intopics that are needed for the later courses, as well as for problems such as are encountered on theFundamentals of Engineering (F.E. or Engineering In Training, E.I.T.) exam.The main resources for

Fourier Workbench Ahmet Turkmen and Jon Breen University of Wisconsin-StoutAbstractIn this study, a Java-based program, Fourier Workbench, was developed. This software processesan audio input signal on the fly, displaying both the FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) and the DFT(Discrete Fourier Transform) of the signal at the same time. The software automatically updatesthese graphs at a user specified interval. This can be paused or updated manually as determinedby the user. The time the calculations took for each algorithm is also displayed after everyupdate. The software was designed especially for processing of musical instruments like a
mastery ofthe syntax of a programming language, if they do not have the attributes of good problem solvingmethods they will have difficulty in courses such as algorithms17. Solving problems using loopsparticularly is important, because it is a fundamental concept that gives students the mostproblems when learning introductory computer science concepts18. Using pseudocode addressesthis issue by allowing the reader to focus on the problem at hand instead of the syntax. Teachingand quizzing students using pseudocode can test problem solving skills directly to see if studentshave learned or retained any knowledge in computer science topics19.ImplementationFor our study, we are customizing the game Half Life 2™ which uses the Source ™ Engine andwas

The primary goal of this project was forstudents enrolled in the course to prepare a draft ISO 14001 EMS document for the mill, and bydoing so gain practical experience related to ISO 14000, environmental management systems,mill environmental affairs and project management. Working with the students, millmanagement and environmental engineers learned about ISO 14000 and now have a frameworkfor development of an ISO 14001 EMS for the mill should they elect to pursue registration.

improvedtechniques to teach challenging subjects in Civil Engineering such as fluidmechanics.Because the solution of many problems in fluid mechanics and hydraulicsrequires repetitive calculations, using programmed procedures can saveconsiderable time and tedious effort. There are various programming proceduresavailable, which make use of advanced technology: 1) programmable scientificcalculators and equation solvers, 2) spreadsheets, 3) mathematics software, 4)applications software, and 5) programming languages [1]. While each proceduremay provide certain advantages in varying circumstances, it appears that themathematics software offers the most useful applications for solving engineeringproblems in general, as well as for fluid flow problems in
