The FBD Assistant, like Andes, provides a tool-and dialog-based diagram creation environment that the student must first learn how to usebefore they can attempt to solve a problem. The goal of Mechanix’s sketch recognition design isso that students do not need to learn how to use the software; they can focus on learning theengineering concepts required to solve the problems.Newton’s Pen has a very similar approach to Mechanix in that it allows the student to make a

IntroductionIn recent years, the need to expand instruction beyond the traditional classroom has led to therapid growth of supplemental teaching methods such as videotaped lectures, classes via satellitebroadcast, and Internet delivery of lectures. In particular, the World Wide Web is receivinggrowing attention as a preferred medium for asynchronous delivery of course materials and pre-recorded lectures to remote students. Universities throughout the country are developing courses(and entire curriculums) specifically for Web presentation.However, the development of Web-based classes can be hampered by limitations of time andeconomics.

Design of Experiments (DOE) is a statistical tool that has emerged as oneof the most effective methods for investigating injection-molding in the R&D, product designand process phases. It can also be used when setting up new molds and trouble shooting problemjobs.A designed experiment involves systematic, controlled changes of input variables (factors) of aprocess in order to observe the corresponding changes in the outputs (responses).

Flight simulators draw attention as a training resource in aerospaceengineering curriculum.

This is an important step because mathematical solutions do not guarantee thatthe synthesized mechanism can traverse the positions in the desired order or it does not sufferfrom branching defects. The simulation option in SoftLink allows the designer to check finedetails in the kinematics before moving to the kinetics design and analysis.Matlab/Simulink is the platform of choice for several reasons: (1) It is a code familiar tostudents and faculty as it is already available and used in many courses in a curriculum tosolve a wide range of engineering problems including control, communications, DSP,optimization, etc.; (2) It has a vast library of functions
