Smith, Donald A.; Jacquot, Raymond G. – CoED, 1984
Presents algorithms for the simulation and motion display of the three basic kinematic devices: (1) four bar linkages; (2) the slider crank; and (3) the inverted slider crank mechanisms. The algorithms were implemented on a Commodore-VIC 20 microcomputer system with 6500 bytes of available memory. (Author/JN)

Whitman, David L.; Terry, Ronald E. – CoED, 1985
Demonstrating petroleum engineering concepts in undergraduate laboratories often requires expensive and time-consuming experiments. To eliminate these problems, a graphical simulation technique was developed for junior-level laboratories which illustrate vapor-liquid equilibrium and the use of mathematical modeling. A description of this…

Waldron, Manjula B. – Engineering Education, 1985
Indicates that increased exposure to different objects in teaching orthographic projection benefits students, especially when they can manipulate and see the surfaces, points, and lines simultaneously or sequentially in three views. Positive attitudes and increased scores were noted after students used interactive computer graphics in an…
