Civil Engineering and Engineering Mechanics Software
Intended for use in undergraduate engineering education, three software programs that can be downloaded are: CME-Truss, a general-purpose truss analysis program, the Visual Stress Transfromer, an animated stress-transformation visualization program and Trebuchect for Windows, simulation software for the dynamic analysis of a medieval siege catapult. The West Point Bridge Designer is also available.
Computer
Intro to Computer Engineering
Tutorial materials that support the teaching and learning of elementary topics in computer engineering. Boolean algebra, logic design, Karnaugh maps, binary arithmetic, combinational logic, sequential logic, floating point numbers, two's complement arithmetic, etc.
Ocean
More Than A List of Crew
A multi-media primary source website embodying and explaining the work papers of nineteenth century seafarers on British and British Empire trading vessels. Their scope is world-wide and the information detailed enough to sustain many kinds of social, economic, and famiily history and "story-telling" projects.
