Vertical 1.083 Figure 9. Spreadsheet to Verify Reinforced Concrete Beams (Part III / III)ConclusionsThese spreadsheets with the help of scaled graphic commands are very useful educational tools;they permit the student trials with different materials, geometry and other variables. Thegraphical spreadsheets avoid impractical solutions, mainly because the designer can visualize thepossible design. As the spreadsheet is easy to change, the students can create their ownspreadsheet based on the one given by the instructor.Finally, the students may perform their own research about the relative importance of theparameters involved in the design. These tools are practically virtual laboratories.Bibliography1. Microsoft Office

Evaluation comments by thestudents identified a number of significant issues. These include:1. The heterogeneity of students: Students included full time undergraduate students,full time U.S. educated graduate students, full time foreign educated graduate students,and part time graduate students working full time.

Several studentshad difficulties when attempting to evaluate how their AP, IB and prior college creditswould apply toward degree requirements.

On the other hand,one might argue that very few people have the ability to assimilate and integrate the breadth ofknowledge required to become a “mechatronics engineer”. If this premise is accepted, thenmechatronics education should be about technical specialization with teamwork skills.Over the past decade, many mechatronics courses and programs have come into existence. Asfar as we can determine, every one of these initiatives has originated in a mechanical engineeringdepartment.
