It is a serious problem that many students neither show any interest in traditional-style lectures, nor do they read traditional-style textbooks. One of the reasons for this is that the traditional teaching method does not fit the younger generation of the TV-era. As a result, university students may fail to understand the fundamental concepts of engineering sciences which are essential in solving real engineering problems. In order to overcome this problem, we have developed a CAI system based upon recent developments in computer hardware and software enabling use of multimedia data, which include text data, graphical data, and sound data. The present system makes use of interactive digital movies, and it runs on inexpensive personal computer systems so that university students can use it personally and learn the engineering fundamentals intuitively. In the present study, the system is applied to a cause in strength of materials including interactive movies on material experiments such as Charpy test and tensile tests, where it demonstrates the effectiveness and advantages of a multimedia instruction system.
At the present stage, computer Internet technique has grown rapidly and has been put into various industries and fields, with a great improvement. Nowadays, most colleges and universities combine computer Internet tec...

An interactive computer-aidedinstruction (CAI) environment for teaching the Mead and Conway approach (C. Mead, C. Conway, 1980) to VLSI design is presented. The NeXT workstation is used as the CAI platform due to its ease in integrating text, graphics, images, and sound to provide an interactive environment The resulting system is a Hypercard-like video/audio system which teaches the fundamentals of VLSI design. The student interacts with the NeXT machine on a self-paced regiment. Problem areas are prompted with the option of going into more detail. The NeXT CAI VLSI system is demonstrated and future research directions are discussed.< >

North Carolina A&T State University has been implementing the CAI (computer-aidedinstruction) VLSI NeXT tool over the past two years to support its VLSI course sequence. Recent additions made to the CAI VLSI NeXT-based tutorial along with other structural enhancements are discussed. The NeXT workstation was used as the workstation platform due to its ease in integrating text, graphics, images, and sound to provide an interactive environment. The resulting system is a HyperCard-like video/audio system which teaches the fundamentals of VLSI design. A generic tutorial system was created, requiring the developer to input images and audio to a shell. The effectiveness of the tutorial was studied. Students with varying degrees of knowledge in VLSI design were questioned about the system.< >

The US economy is undergoing a period of rapid change. A second industrial revolution is in process. The key to economic survival in these increasingly dynamic times is an educated workforce. The importance of mass education does not eclipse the need for customized education. Artificial intelligence technologies can drive multimedia systems, which can provide an unprecedented level of individual attention throughout the educational process. Such systems will present an exo-intelligence over the information superhighway. They will teach us how to learn more effectively. Random seeded crystal learning methodologies provide for interaction with the expert so as to amplify the basis knowledge, which is provided.

Most studies on computer-aidedinstruction system focus on the theories and general models. A detail study on the computer-aidedinstruction of solid geometry teaching has been carried out in this paper. In the first phase of the study, an attempt is made to construct a knowledge transmission model on classroom teaching. The problems in the process of teaching are analyzed using the knowledge transmission model. In the second phase of the study, software of computer-aidedinstruction platform of solid geometry is presented as a solution to the solid geometry teaching based on the model and analysis of the problems. Simple and effective data structure and algorithm are designed and implemented. Finally, the application of the software improving the teaching process is shown and concluded.

A computer package has been developed to demonstrate the various types of geodesics on developable as well as nondevelopable quadrics, with particular application to high-frequency electromagnetic analysis. This user-friendly package, developed in Turbo BASIC, allows the user to simulate the various possible geodesics between any two points located on a convex surface. The authors describe the geodesic constant method, where all the surface ray geometric parameters required in the high-frequency calculations are expressed explicitly in terms of the first geodesic constant h. This analysis uses a general geodesic coordinate system and is applicable to a wide class of quadrics and nonquadric surfaces.< >

The resulting system is a Hypercard-like video/audio system which teaches the fundamentals of VLSI design. The student interacts with the NeXT machine on a self-paced regimen. Problem areas are indicated and there is the option of going into more detail. All sessions are interactive and provide the student with audio and visual interaction. The NeXT CAI VLSI system is described. Future research directions are discussed.< >

Since 1992, the authors have been developing and testing "BEST" Dynamics software (Basic Engineering Software for Teaching Dynamics) with the goal of transforming how engineering dynamics is taught at the University of Missouri-Rolla, USA. This paper introduces the "BEST" Dynamics and its classroom implementation, raises questions concerning the cognitive impact of the software, attempts to classify the type of learning environment used in "BEST" Dynamics, and gives some new directions that are being taken based on the authors' observations and experiences.

In response to the need for interactive computer-aidedinstruction (CAI) tools for higher education, a prototype VLSI tutorial using the NeXT workstation has been developed. The NeXT workstation was used as the CAI platform due to its ease in integrating text, graphics, image, and sound to provide an interactive environment. The resulting system is a Hypercard-like video/audio system which teaches the fundamentals of VLSI design. A generic tutorial system has been created requiring the developer to produce only images and lectures. The research discussed presents the addition of tutorials for Electric Circuit Analysis I (sophomore level course) and Digital Signal Analysis and Processing (junior level course).< >
