Jolls, Kenneth R.; And Others – 1976
A technique is described for the generation of perspective views of three-dimensional models using computer graphics. The technique is applied to models of familiar thermodynamic phase diagrams and the results are presented for the ideal gas and van der Waals equations of state as well as the properties of liquid water and steam from the Steam…

Frederick, Dean K.; Leong, Alan S. – CoED, 1983
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)

Vawter, D. L. – CoED, 1982
In introductory mechanics courses it is often necessary to know the geometric properties of some irregular figure. An interactive program (using an Apple II microcomputer) which allows an instructor to determine the geometric properties of an arbitrary figure is described. Includes mathematical formulation, properties of irregular polygons, and…

Planchard, Marie – Engineering Design Graphics Journal, 2007
At some point in their education, pre-engineering students will take physics and/or calculus. For many freshmen who aren't certain about their career paths, taking these courses is a litmus test to determine whether they have the aptitude or desire to pursue an engineering degree. Therein lies the challenge for many students in the U.S. Science,…
