Sheldon, John W. – 1970
A 90-minute computer-assisted instruction (CAI) unit course supplemented by a 1-hour lecture on the dynamic nature of three-dimensional rotations and Euler angles was given to 29 undergraduate engineering students. The area of Euler angles was selected because it is essential to problem-working in three-dimensional rotations of a rigid body, yet…

Hilliard, Garland K. – 1975
An engineering graphics course offered at North Carolina State University for freshman engineering students is described. The course is divided into 14 units and the students are allowed to proceed at their own pace. The first 11 units comprise the required core; the remaining 3 units may be chosen from other areas such as computer graphics,…
