Microsoft Excel Software Usage for Teaching Science and Engineering Curriculum

In this paper, our main objective is to present the use of Microsoft Software Excel 2007/2003 for teaching college and university level curriculum in science and engineering. In particular, we discuss two interesting and fascinating examples of interactive applications of Microsoft Excel targeted for undergraduate students in (1) computational physics and physics education, and in (2) computer ...

Modified Linear Theory for Spinning or Non-Spinning Projectiles

Static and dynamic stability are the most important phenomena for stable flight atmospheric motion of spin and fin stabilized projectiles. If the aerodynamic forces and moments and the initial conditions are accurately known, an essentially exact simulation of the projectile’s synthesized pitching and yawing motion can be readily obtained by numerical methods. A modified trajectory linear theor...

On the Design of Embodiment-based Gamification Activities for Learning Fundamental Projectile Motion

Based on theories of embodied cognition, this study applied technologies of natural user interface to design gamification activities for learning fundamental projectile motion. The embodiment-based design facilitates elementary learners to learn the abstract concept of fundamental projectile motion through their body-moving experience. When the learners perform gamification activities with thei...
