, 2006 Teaching/ Learning Modules for Structural AnalysisAbstractA typical undergraduate Structural Analysis course of a civil engineering or civil engineeringtechnology curriculum includes topics such as Moving Loads and Influence Lines for Trussesand Girders that often require several iterations, involving tedious, repetitive calculations tosolve problems. But, only a limited number of examples can be presented in the classroom dueto time constraint, despite the fact that such examples are necessary to reinforce importantengineering concepts. To circumvent the situation, a logical option is to capitalize on thecomputer’s abilities to compute, display graphics, and interface with the user. The purpose ofthis paper is to present a

understanding, temperature is a measure of the hotness of a givenmacroscopic object (Zemansky and Dittman, 1997, page 10). The homemaker thinks oftemperature as how hot she must set the oven to cook a roast. The computer engineersthinks in terms of how cool a computer system must be maintained in order to functionproperly. The plasma physicist views temperature as a measure of kinetic energy of themolecules or electrons. The astronomer views temperature as a measure of the radiantenergy emission from stars. These rather diverging concepts of temperature have onething in common: they all relate to energy or energy transfer and hence clearly marktemperature as a thermodynamic property (Reynolds, 1968).The Carnot engine provides the working definition of

In some programs an algebraic treatmentis all that is required while another program may require modeling systems using differentialequations. In this case a single curriculum does not serve both programs well. The forced utilization of the technology department’s introductory CAD and electricalengineering courses resulted in not obtaining all of engineering’s curriculum goals.Technology’s CAD instruction was developed to support follow on graphics and modelingcourses in the computer aided drafting and manufacturing major.

First the computer-based labs (atomic orbitals and molecular geometry) should beincorporated into the lecture, recitation and possibly included in a homework assignment.Second, the lab experience should be fully integrated into the course and not graded separately.This would allow the lab material to be included on course assignments and remove any divisionbetween the course and the lab. Disconnected laboratory and course experiences are a commoncomplaint of dissatisfied engineering students2.
