Discusses the design and operation of a microcomputer system which obtains and displays an individual's electrocardiogram (EKG). The EKG information, in digital form, can be stored on a floppy disk and transmitted over telephone lines by use of a modem. (JN)

Discusses the use of interactive computer graphics in developing student exercises on various concepts of electrical engineering. These exercises include drill and practice, homework, remedial work, and interactive laboratory reporting. In addition, a computer assisted program is used by instructors. (JN)

Describes modifications made to expand the capabilities of a display unit (Lear Siegler ADM-3A) to include medium resolution graphics. The modifying circuitry is detailed along with software subroutined written in Z-80 machine language for controlling the video display. (JN)

Describes phenomena that can be effectively illustrated using microcomputers, techniques used to create these illustrations, and techniques used for displaying them in regular classrooms and over an instructional television network. Also describes microcomputer features required to apply the techniques, providing comments on the suitability of…

Interactive Simulation Language (ISL) is a highly interactive and graphics-oriented language. ISL use in senior design course and introductory system modeling/system behavior course is discussed (including instructional strategies, self-administered instruction, and problem assignment). A description of ISL (including block library and main menu)…

Describes a computer program which allows students to specify rather arbitrary sets of poles and zeros for the transfer function of a linear system. The computer evaluates/plots the systems impulse and step responses individually and displays them in reduced form along with the pole-zero plot. (JN)

Presents computer programs (Applesoft Basic) for: (1) 2-D rotation about any point through any angle; (2) matrix transformation for 2-D rotation; (3) 3-D translation; (4) 3-D rotation; and (5) hyperboloid rotated in 2-D space. Includes background information and sample output for the matrix transformation subroutines. (JN)
