- Interesting approach to teaching...
-
- I am physicist and engineer (Ph.D physics MS math) and computer guru....
- normally work as senior consultant manager for advanced development
- and technology transfer projects....
-
- I hope that you can evolve a good working program using CBT (computer
- based training) for your students.
-
- How much of the time do they still spend in classroom lectures?
-
- How much of their time is spend in field trips?
-
- Do they actually build working systems in engineering and science?
-
- Do you have them fly real airplanes having run the models on simulators
- in the classrooom?
-
- Do you have them build real ceramic castings having modelled the thremal
- stresses in the computer?
-
- I think your ideas are good but suggest MORE use of the comptuer for
- modelling and model development and less for just multi-media garbage...
- which makes people FEEL they have learned about computers but really
- all they have learned is familiarity and comfort with general idea
- and a set of specific programs...they is a start...but MORE useful
- to get them programming and making REAL use of MATH and ENGINEERING
- and etc... like real aerospace or financial firms do...
-
- Glad tohelp if you like
