Furthermore this extra effort can not easily be quantified to be of any use intenure/promotion/merit raise decisions by the administrators. The third disadvantage is in defining a baseline in the curriculum for teaching these software packages.As different instructors rotate through undergraduate teaching responsibilities, the degree of emphasis in usingthese packages will not be the same. This creates students with different knowledge levels. This result infrustration for the students who did not have adequate exposure to these material if

Kember et al. found that perceived workloadis not necessarily an accurate measure of actual workload but that it is a function of individualcharacteristics, approaches to learning, and conceptions of the learning context [6].A heavier workload has been correlated to a more ‘surface approach’ to learning, contrasted witha ‘deep approach’ found to be connected to higher levels of

In most textbooks and courses,relationships between external and internal loads and stresses are examined, and thenstrain and deformation are investigated. For example, the equations (sigma is normalstress) sigma = p/a, sigma = m*c/I, etc…, focus on the relationship between normal stressand internal load. However, our research suggests that students have a strong interest inand are able to observe and understand deformation much more than stress. Observeddeformations may be able to be quickly interpreted to strains by students. If this was thecase then this course could potentially be improved substantially by focusing on therelationship between
