Song, Xueshu

Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, v11 n3-4 p331-36 1992

Suggests that intuition and visualization are effective methods of introducing engineering principles to pre-engineering students. Describes the development of computer simulation software as part of a "Pre-Engineering College On Disk" course. The computer game helps students visualize the relationship between shell trajectory and its parameters. (MDH)
