Using MERLOT Learning Materials Effectively

Faculty make use of MERLOT learning materials in a variety of ways to enhance the teaching/learning process and to engage their students more effectively.  Some uses and examples are:

Use a Java applet or animation to illustrate an engineering concept. Example:  Compressible Aerodynamics Calculator Require students to use a Java applet as part of a homework assignment. Example:  Capacitance vs. Voltage of PN Junctions Require students to use learning materials for drill and practice. Example: Steam Tables Calculator Require students to use learning materials as a tutorial. Example:  Virtual Tour of a Steam Turbine Cogeneration Power Plant Require students to use learning materials as a library resource. Example:  The History of Chemical Engineering Encourage students to use MERLOT materials as a reference. Example: The Semiconductor Applet Service
