Abstract :
This paper describes a project currently in progress at Penn State Altoona. The project deals with the development of learning modules which will integrate various concepts from physics, mathematics, and engineering technology to provide students with a clear understanding of the usefulness of physics and mathematics in real-world engineering problems. Case studies derived from real-life situations will constitute a significant part of these modules. These learning modules will be suitable for use in a one-semester physics course for associate degree engineering technology students. Both EET and MET students will benefit from these modules
