Samples of Specific Courseware for Mechanical Engineering

Thermal/Fluids

http://www1.needs.org/database/records/courseware/157.html   Introductory concepts of thermodynamics - energy, work, energy cycles, etc. A concise explanation of the terminology used in the learning of thermodynamics is also provided. The concepts are explained through the animations accompanied by narration (PC). Lower Division.

http://www1.needs.org/database/records/courseware/374.html  CyclePad enables students to construct and analyze a wide variety of thermodynamic cycles. A hypertext explanation facility provides the student with access to the chain of reasoning underlying the derivation of each value.
