Slinky Tidbits Classroom Activities Richard James, a mechanical engineer, was employed by Philadelphia's Cramp Shipyard in 1943 when he accidentally invented the Slinky . At the time, he was trying to develop a spring to keep ship instruments steady at sea. As James tested hundreds of springs of varying sizes, metals, and tensions, he piled the discards onto his desk. One day, an experimental torsion spring fell off the desk and "walked" down a pile of books, tumbling end over end onto the floor. James designed and engineered machines to transform 80 feet of wire into a two-and one-half-inch stack of 98 coils, and he and his wife, Betty, co-founded James Industries. Today the company continues to operate in Hollidaysburg, Pa., manufacturing some 3 million to 4 million Slinkys annually. Mrs. James, who came up with the name "Slinky" has been chief executive officer since 1960. styrene-butadiene copolymer from Chevron Phillips Chemical Co.

LtU Classic Archives and teaching programming as part of a software engineering curriculum. Some programming activities are like engineering, some like physics (both http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/classic/message9286.html
Extractions: 10/21/2003; 4:41:51 AM (reads: 1523, responses: 40) Programming is not a branch of mathematics, as some people would have us believe. It is not a craft either, as some others would have us believe. It is (or should be) rather a branch of engineering, in the sense of Richard Hamming (see his book "The Art of Doing Science and Engineering", highly recommended): a technology whose foundation is a scientific theory. Programming is then like other engineering disciplines: a mix of back-of-the-envelope reasoning, standard techniques, and standard tools, supported by formal reasoning and empirical measurements. The way to teach it, in our view, is to start with concepts. Not syntax or semantics or some particular programming language. (I like the phrase that Matthias Felleisen uses about his book "How To Design Programs": to "abolish the tyranny of syntax".) Start with a small set of concepts and design principles. Then add concepts one by one and update the design principles accordingly. Each new concept has to be motivated: it has to simplify programs. (This is what I call the "creative extension principle" in CTM.)

Christina L. Bloebaum: Teaching Activities Dr. Bloebaum teaches two courses in Optimization in Engineering Design. Concepts reviewed include; Concurrent Engineering, Total Quality Management, http://www.eng.buffalo.edu/~clb/clb2.html
Extractions: Dr. Bloebaum has taught a two course sequence in aerospace structures. In-class lab demonstrations give students a feel for the practical applications of structural analysis. The second optimization course (which does not require the first as a prerequisite) introduces non-traditional methods including optimality criteria methods, dual methods, heuristic methods such as genetic algorithms and simulated annealing, and multidisciplinary design optimization in both classes. Students are required to write code which directly applies each method to a set of example problems.

Extractions: Home Programs Research Student Groups ... Contact CE Lakshmi N. Reddi teaches the following courses: Professor Reddi's teaching interests include environmental geotechnology, seepage in porous media, and geotechnical engineering. The first book, Geoenvironmental Engineering: Principles and Applications, brings out the synergism in fundamental principles of geotechnical engineering, groundwater hydrology, mass transfer/transport in soils, and immiscible fluid phase dynamics. With an integrated perspective of these principles and with a sound knowledge of site characterization (geotechnical, geophysical, and geostatistical), the student is then exposed to site remediation methods and waste containment design. This forms the premise for the new CRCD project NSF has funded. With the increasing diversity of problems the environmental community is faced with, it is important to prepare students with an integrated and synergistic perspective of these topics. M.S.

In a three-year period of employment as a Lecturer at the University of Dar-es-Salaam, I taught courses in the areas of Structural Analysis, Engineering Mechanics, Timber Design, and Steel Design . In addition to classroom teaching, I was involved in the following teaching related activities: Each year I supervised between four and five students on their final year projects, which is capstone design project conducted individually. In collaboration with various design and construction companies, I supervised students and graded their industrial training reports. The industrial training sessions were required for each student in each of his or her first three years in college and contributed to their final GPA. Present Teaching Experience I started my teaching career at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering as a Visiting Assistant Professor in the 1991 fall semester. The visiting status was changed to tenure-track in the fall of 1993. During the two-year period as the visiting Assistant Professor, I taught seven (7) courses each year, including summer sessions.
