Student TestimonialsIt is common to teach the method of Linear Modal Analysis within the scope of a typicalundergraduate Machine Vibrations class. Too often, however, Modal Analysis is viewed by thestudents as a distinct method, separate and apart from the more fundamental techniques ofImpulse Convolution and Fourier Decomposition. In fact, these three methods build upon eachother. The merger of these techniques using Mathcad demonstrates to the students that simpletheoretical models may be extended and integrated to solve complex design scenarios. Studentfeedback related to the project indicates the value of this educational practice.

teaching of information literacy skills has been well-documented in thelast two decades. Typical of many studies, Seamans’5 survey of First-Year students shows thattheir strategies for locating information are underdeveloped. Undergraduates tend to performresearch not as exploration, but to garner support for a predetermined viewpoint. The studentssurveyed used one keyword when given an information-retrieval task, and used no Booleans,expressing reservations about their use as an unfamiliar concept. The survey also found thatstudents do not see libraries and library personnel as part of information seeking.
