McDaniel, Ellen – Engineering Education, 1985
PLATO has become a successful method for computer-based education in a statics course since it offers diversified teaching/learning activities as well as alternative ways to teach content and exercise skills. Advantages for student learning are discussed, course guidelines are given, and a description of the course's computer graphics is provided.…

Alexander, Daniel E. – 1972
Reported is the development of a self-instructional course in engineering statics designed for engineering students that has been implemented in several institutions. There are 15 unit modules in the course divided into three different levels. Each unit begins with a description of general objectives. The unit is then divided into several subunits…

Bennett, James A. – 1973
A series of graphically-oriented computer-assisted instructional (CAI) lessons in elementary beam theory has been developed for an undergraduate course in solid mechanics. The lessons were implemented on the PLATO CAI system at the University of Illinois; the system included a graphical display unit (CRT) and a CDC 1604 computer. The first phase…
