Suggestions and conclusions are made at the end of this paper.Definitions of Computer Simulation and Computer AnimationAlthough computer animation and simulation have been used to help students visualize a varietyof phenomena, the terms of “computer simulation” and “computer animation” are not explicitlywell defined in most of the studies that are examined in this paper. Only a few studies includeddefinitions of these two terms. According to Larvive 16, “animation” is a form of cartoon used tohelp one visualize a difficult concept, in place of a description of the concept in words; and“simulation” is a program that accepts inputs, and simulates experimentations via

the workof refining each rubric can be tedious, increasing the accuracy and uniformity of theseexpectations makes it worthwhile. Challenges to the process of forming rubrics include:a) reaching a collective faculty consensus on how to define each aspect of the engineeringprocess, as identified by each particular portfolio category, and b) describing theexpectation in a way that addresses multiple engineering concentrations and differingengineering practices. For example, while choosing a material property, constructing anelectrical circuit board, or coding a microprocessor may each qualify as an engineeringendeavor, each is governed by somewhat unique considerations. Though our process bycommittee of department faculty was relatively slow, we

This type of curricular community engagement has been shown tohave many benefits for undergraduates including: enhanced critical thinking and betterunderstanding of course material, cooperative learning and tolerance for diversity, self-efficacyand leadership, recruitment and retention of students, community-college connections andcitizenship [5, 6].

In all engineering courses, safety hazards could be identified as the subject matter progresses, and could be noted to the students (with options for elimination/reduction) B. In all engineering design courses, only C. In all senior capstone design courses, as a criterion each design team must address in data collection, analysis, creation of alternatives, and evaluation of alternatives D.

In the allowable stress experiment,students used a simple double lap connection (provided in the lab kits and shown in Figure 1)made of balsa wood to measure allowable shear stress. Students added an adhesive (such asdouble sided tape) to the Part B illustrated in Figure 1, and then suspended increasing weight toget to failure.
