A program to develop the use of time-sharing remote computer terminals in academic and laboratory courses was instituted in the engineering department at the United States Naval Academy. The first step in the program was the orientation and familiarization of faculty members with time-sharing concepts and the BASIC computer language. Computer…

Describes a programing course that includes computer tutorial lessons in basic programing language. (MLH)

Described is a computer program for the sizing of subsonic and supersonic fighters which has been adapted for use in an aerospace engineering design course. Following a description of the program, an evaluation of its use in the university is presented. It is concluded that computer programs for the conceptual design of aerospace vehicles can play…

Innovative and interesting energy awareness computer simulations are developed to demonstrate how rapidly world energy reserves are depleted, how quickly and enormously the demand for energy grows, and the importance of energy conservation and conversion. (Author/CMV)

Describes a teaching program for fluid mechanics and heat transfer which contains both computer aided learning (CAL) and computer aided design (CAD) components and argues that the understanding of the physical and numerical modeling taught in the CAL course is essential to the proper implementation of CAD.

This study investigated the use of the PLATO III computer assisted instruction (CAI) system to assist in the teaching of an electrical network theory course. It sought to: 1) identify the topics and teaching strategies most amenable to CAI system; 2) develop computer programs needed to teach those topics; 3) use, evaluate and service the programs;…
