Presented are two papers on computer applications in engineering education coursework. The first paper suggests that since most engineering graduates use only "canned programs" and rarely write their own programs, educational emphasis should include model building and the use of existing software as well as program writing. The second paper deals…

This document reviews the role of computer graphics in an engineering curriculum, provides a survey of computer graphics in engineering education, and presents the outline of a one semester engineering computer graphics course. Example exercises and tests are included. Course topics include labeling, graph plotting, perspective view generation,…

Described is the use of an analog/hybrid computer installation to study those physical phenomena that can be described through the evaluation of an algebraic function of a complex variable. This is an alternative way to study such phenomena on an interactive graphics terminal. The typical problem used, involving complex variables, is that of…
