community must continue to seek out,develop and adopt new computer and Web based technologies to improve student learning,recruiting and retention. This is especially relevant given that personal computing is ubiquitousto most pre-college students, current engineering freshmen and sophomores, and the growingdistributed nature of engineering education.The use of Web based technologies facilitates a more interactive and engaging learningenvironment. In addition, multimodal environments that involve the use of interactive 3Dmodels can significantly improve the learning efficiency of students10-11.

Toachieve this goal, computer-aided design models and an augmented reality mobile-phoneapplication were developed. While the results may indicate that the overall impact of employingStaticView and 3D CAD models did not demonstrate a statistically significant difference inperformance outcomes, individual feedback highlighted a positive influence on certain students.Moreover, the findings suggest that incorporating AR and CAD models in this manner did notimpede students' learning outcomes. Consequently, it is concluded that the utilization of theseteaching methods can serve as a valuable resource for students. The encouragement of

analogs in mechanical systems. Thus, a Hydrodynamic Wheatstonebridge, using the analogy of flow in pipes, was developed to serve as a teaching tool in theclassroom. A series of tests were performed to simulate ¼, ½, full, and shunted bridge circuits,where the increase or decrease in resistance in the strain gage is analogous to partially closing oropening a valve in a pipe network. The difference in head potential (i.e., ∆V) was measured withmanometers located between the valves. The results agree with the ¼, ½, full, and shuntedWheatstone bridge circuits. Future enhancements include the addition of flow meters to relatewater flow to current flow, scaled full turn valves to more accurately represent changingresistances, and a flexible tube

The Matlab Grader feature was instrumentalin providing students practice with computational solutions to vibrations problems. With this tool,instructors create assignments that students solve with a Matlab script. When the student submitshis or her own code, it is automatically graded against the specified output of the instructor solution.Though it would be useful regardless of delivery mode, the Grader was particularly valuable ingetting real-time feedback to students in keeping with the fast pace
