In 2014, the Sky team noted some inadequacies that could help with it. First,their teachers are required to teach the English language, none of their teachers spoke English.Secondly, they had four computers, which only one of them worked, and none of them could accessthe internet. In 2016, Sky team returned to Honduras bringing refurbished computers, which wasused to set up 3 computer labs in three different Honduran schools.

The goal of this second-year course is toprovide students with experience in applying high-level software (in this case, MATLAB12) tothe solution of mechanical engineering design problems.Since its introduction into the B.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering curriculum, “Computing Toolsfor Engineering Design” has been taught in the traditional fashion of 3 hours of lectures perweek, with a single 3-hour laboratory every week. Presently, the course is offered each Fall term(September to December) to approximately 200 second-year students, who are divided into 2lecture cohorts of approximately 100 students and 6 laboratory cohorts of approximately 33students.For

Spreadsheets, per se, are inadequate for tutoring purposes,so Excel's capabilities are extended by using its internal programming language, Visual Basic forApplications.IntroductionEngineering economics is a unique course that requires students to develop mathematical skillsin equivalence modeling, to apply concepts and solve problems using economic criteria, and tomaster rule and memory oriented topics such as taxes. Students must rely on different learningskills, and this makes teaching the course a fascinating challenge. One common thread to the dif-ferent components of the course is that it does not require a physical laboratory, and this makes ita candidate for web based teaching.

The first approach is to use the ideal gas table data from Ref. [1] with a look-up interpolationscheme. The second approach is to use a curve fit with the NASA Lewis coefficients [2,3]. Thecomputer model developed makes use of a bracketing–bisection algorithm [4] to determine thetemperature of the air after compression. This computer code is supplied to the students and dis-cussed after the students have performed a detailed hand calculation. Then, students are requiredto modify the supplied computer program to solve additional problems.The instructional approach outlined in this paper
