Community service agencies are facing a future in which they must rely to a great extent upontechnology for the delivery, coordination, accounting, and improvement of the services they provide. Theyoften do not possess the expertise to use, or the budget to design and acquire a technological solution that issuited to their mission. They thus need the help of people with strong technical backgrounds.1 This work is supported in part by the U.S. Department of Education's Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education: Innovative Projectsin Community Service, under FIPSE Grant No. P116F50129.2 Further information about the EPICS program resides at: http://purcell.ecn.purdue.edu/~epics

Engineering and technical education weresimilarly affected by the establishment of a pro-Communist government [10]. By 1978,undergraduate-level education in engineering was well-established; most formal postsecondarytechnical education took place at two premiere programs. The Faculty of Engineering of KabulUniversity, which was established in 1956 in collaboration with USAID, used Americantextbooks and curricula.

COMPUTER TUTOR VERSUS SOLVING PROBLEMS BY HAND: A COMPARISON IN STATICSIntroductionInstructors increasingly seek to use computer-based technologies to enhance instruction in theirclassrooms. Recently, integration of video and web technologies has made it feasible for lecturetype material to be provided readily to students outside of the classroom. It is more challengingto provide computer-based learning tools outside that enable students to practice using conceptsand skills they have learned and to receive timely feedback, which is known to improve learning1-4 . There have been examples of computer systems to allow students to practice and receivefeedback in the realm of statics in particular, steps5-7.It is particularly

Several examples are considered using static stresses todetermine the fatigue life of machine components.3 The consideration of fatigue and FEM together in educational journals and conference papersis very limited and has only appeared recently. A review of educational journals yielded nopapers that consider both fatigue and FEM. A conference paper by Hagigat24 (2005) explains thegeneral concept of fatigue and also emphasizes that a major contributor to high cycle fatiguefailures is vibration. Hagigat24 states that using mode shapes and S-N curves will yield anaccurate fatigue
