Furthermore, it was foundthat there is rarely a consensus within the department. Opinions ranged from making students usetables only to using software and covering tables just enough so students can pass the FEexamination.Of the twenty-five mechanical engineering departments surveyed, only six have an explicitpolicy. In four cases, students use tables only during their first thermodynamics course and areintroduced to software tools in subsequent courses.

It is helpful for students to see how much diversity exists even within a restricted content area, and it is easier for the professor to manage the discussion in a way that promotes understanding of specific course material or assignments. However, student enthusiasm noticeably diminishes as content restrictions increase. • Occasionally, students are instructed to find an article in a technical journal (in print) rather than on the internet.

Vehicle acceleration, either positive or negative (braking), and the time rate of change ofacceleration, jerk, can have a significant impact on the safety and comfort of passengers. Theeffects of acceleration and jerk are especially troublesome for passengers that either choose tostand or must stand in the vehicle because no empty seats are available.
