, increasinglyembedded in powerful commercial software, have made the largest impact. Many of the“classical methods” which were the only tools available, or at least practical, before computers(BC?) for obtaining detailed analysis and component/member design are no longer routinelyused in practice for these purposes. However, before we declare these classical methods to beobsolete and relegate them the past, let us proceed to examine what all are their uses in bothengineering education and the practice of engineering.Civil engineering practice is no more than two centuries removed from a period when theavailable analysis tools were very limited – moment distribution was not defined by ProfessorHardy Cross1 until in the early 1930’s, soon after the completion of

approximately 18 m/s. The results show that the NASCAR model has the lowestdrag force and the hatchback has the highest drag force. This is due to the smooth contours of theNASCAR racer compared to the sudden geometry changes on the hatchback. The LeMans carhas the lowest lift force and the General Lee has the highest lift force. The forces on the LeMansvehicle are quite interesting, because it is the only vehicle experiencing negative lift, ordownforce. This is certainly due to the spoiler like kickup at the rear of the vehicle and the highpressure separation region behind the wheel wells. (It should be noted that the NASCAR willproduce downforce if fitted with a rear spoiler.)Figure 9 plots the drag and lift coefficients and shows more defined

The use of NetMeeting provides a low-cost equivalent to the studio-to-studiodiscussions and the showing of videotapes via VCRs in classrooms or making them available inthe library is equivalent to the videostreaming (assuming the composite video productiontechnique discussed below is used). Thus, this paper concludes that the information transfer andstudent interaction opportunities are no different between conventional and distance educationand the focus of instructor efforts should be on the quality of the information transfer andpresentation mode(s) used.IV.3 Presentation Mode Experiences and ImprovementPresentation

It is now typical, atleast in mechanical engineering (ME) curricula, to include course(s) specific to FEA, andthese courses often include use of commercial FEA codes. Now that these codes havebecome more user-friendly and their plotting and animating capabilities have becomemore sophisticated, they can be used effectively to illustrate concepts encountered in arange of undergraduate engineering courses. The examples included in this paper arefrom three courses: heat transfer, fluid mechanics, and mechanical vibrations. The FEAassignments are used to complement core lecture material in

Specifically, they compare a growth curve model based on the first age of patients,and then introduce a “follow-up” patient time variable, leading to significantly different results.Their conclusion notes that implementing another time variable allowed them to compare andcontrast a true, longitudinal model with a more cross-sectional one.

A common strategy to manage conflict within engineeringstudent project teams is through the direct intervention of a member of the teaching team. Paretti[14] found that there were generally two approaches for this type of intervention, the first is afaculty member meeting with the whole team to address the conflict as a group, and the second isa faculty member meeting with just the student(s) at the heart of the problem. These strategiesare most effective in smaller classes where the teaching team can take a hands-on approach withall teams encountering conflict. In larger classes, this becomes much more difficult.
