This meant LabView and its commercial analogueswere out of the question. Finally, computer component performance had to be controllable, withmechanisms to deliberately manipulate internal functions such as processor loads and componentcooling rates. Together these constraints drove the design of the TCS/computer systemsummarized below. A complete detailed description is presented in a separate paper 1.The TCS hardware package was designed to fit inside the computer’s original CD drive box. Itmeasures 8

1990s [1], the rational for introducing students to mechanics in thisfashion was called into question. Since statics can be considered a subset of dynamics, is there apedagogical benefit to introducing students to the subject of mechanics from this perspective?Before this question can be answered it is instructive to look back in the history of mechanics,and more importantly engineering mechanics, and see why the statics and dynamics coursesequence is so thoroughly entrenched in engineering curricula throughout the world.Complete histories of mechanics can be found in several references [2-6]. An abridged version ispresented here for the purpose of understanding how the teaching of mechanics has evolved inengineering education. The history of

We believe that our Longitudinal Design Team concept is an effective model foractive learning. New students entering the department become excited about engineering, havethe opportunity to apply theory taught in coursework to real-life problems, and become familiarwith the synergetic design process, all while working in a team setting.

. BackgroundApproximately thirty and forty years ago, the authors were sophomores taking Statics. Beforetaking this course, students were required to take a four-credit course in Physics that was at leastfifty percent Statics. The Statics course was also four credits with a homework load that isdouble that which is required by today's students. The scope of the material covered was notsignificantly different than the current curriculum but was non-vectorial with emphasis on free Page 6.92.1 Proceedings of the 2001 American Society for Engineering Education Annual Conference & Exposition Copyright 2001, American Society for
