ABSTRACTUnderstanding and predicting the impact of air emissions form various sources are essentialcomponents of a typical course on Air Pollution in an engineering curriculum. Air pollutionteaching modules were developed to aid instructors and students with the basic ability to modelconvective-dispersive transport of air pollutants emitted from point and distributed sources. Themodules rely on basic “Gaussian Models” and use site specific input parameters on topography andmeteorological conditions such as wind speed and direction, atmospheric stability, ambienttemperature, and stack-gas properties.Modules provide instructions to set up and/or download the necessary software for classroomteaching activity and then demonstrate the application using typical case

The FBD Assistant was designed to beintegrated into the courseware suite at Vanderbilt University, which makes it very easy forprofessors to incorporate into the curriculum. 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 asketch in order to solve statics problems
