An increasing number of universities are offering courses on Photonics. Due to financial and safety considerations, these courses are generally theoretical and include very little, if any, experimental or design content. Computer-aided learning (CAL) techniques, can be used to enhance these courses and to develop practical and realistic design skills in the students. Furthermore, CAL offers safety advantages and is inexpensive compared with physical experiments. This paper introduces OPALS-the Opto-electronic, Photonic and Advanced Laser Simulator-which can be used as such a learning tool.<>

The paper provides an evaluative study of the impact of the Pro/ENGINEER designer's package on learning outcomes in a first year mechanical engineering design subject. It is concluded that such packages can be used successfully to replace traditional pencil-and-paper approaches, and that their impact will be to change the way spatial concepts and visualisation are taught and developed.<>

With the increasing complexity of electrical power systems, the need for accurate tools for their design, planning and operation become a necessity. This paper investigates the appropriate design tools for analysing complicated energy system configurations under different contingencies in order to cope with the challenges. Education and training using these tools requires familiarisation with software and hardware employed in this process. The paper shows that the new delivery modes using the full advantage of digital computers in a multi-media environment will improve the efficiency of instruction, and understanding of complex problems within the class room reach.<>

There are today many authoring tools available for every computer environment, In this paper a classification of authoring tools is made. One authoring tool is thoroughly discussed and examined. The different possibilities are compared with the problems they may give the author and the user of the complete system. What might there be ahead in the future?.<>

The Electronic Design Education Consortium (EDEC) is dedicated to the production of computer-based teaching and learning material to support the education of electronic engineers and computer scientists. It is one of the projects being funded under the Teaching and Learning Technology Programme (TLTP), a major initiative of the UK Higher Education Funding Councils aimed at making teaching and learning more productive and efficient by harnessing modern technology. This paper begins with a brief overview of the development of computer-based teaching and learning in the UK. The aims and objectives of the Teaching and Learning Technology Programme are then set out in sufficient detail to understand the context, in which the EDEC project is operating. This is followed by an account of the methods being used by EDEC to achieve its stated goal of producing 160 hours of courseware during the three year duration of the project.<>

This paper describes software to assist the transformer testing laboratory in electrical engineering teaching. The software is a Microsoft Windows application programme. It requires an IBM compatible PC with MS Windows 3.1. The programme compiler used is Borland C++ (Ver 3.1) with Application Frameworks. The advantages of C++ as an OOP language are discussed and attention is drawn to the fact that C++ provides a unified programming environment for programme reusability and easy maintenance, and strong graphic capabilities which meets the update requirements for engineering teaching with proper application of multi-media computing technology.<>

In an effort to prepare teaching material that is both factual and interesting, use has been made of today's computer technology to provide dynamics in the appearance of the material, through animation and careful use of videos, and interaction via a mouse and "sensitive" areas on the computer monitor. The benefits that these techniques offer are illustrated by looking at the teaching of elementary AC electrical quantities and the use to outline the aims and requirements of an experimental investigation. The teaching material is structured using an authoring language, in this case 'Authorware Professional'.<>

This paper describes the use of multimedia techniques to assist and encourage students towards self-directed learning. The paper presents an application of multimedia techniques within a mechanical engineering design context through the development of a computer aided tutorial. The tutorial is not intended to replace lectures or traditional teaching methods but to supplement them. At this stage, the system framework and one module dealing with the design of power transmission belts has been completed. The work presented here covers the hardware and software selection, the formulation of a symbolic vocabulary to provide a consistent style for course material, the implementation of a framework for multimedia presentations and the educational considerations involved.<>

A computer-based deep learning environment is described which aims to enhance the engineering science understanding of young engineers. Interactive computer simulations enable students to explore the structural behaviour of a range of generic components in a way which combines elements of play and experimentation. Graphical feedback is used in order to establish connections between abstract concepts and physical reality. Links to underlying science concepts are provided by on-line explanatory notes and "concept maps".<>
