| Descripción: | Dear Members: Our current issue contains three articles that represent the breadth of the work being done by its membership. Through a real-life, industrial application, Morales shows how geometry, mathematics, and design all come together in a project. Just as important, it also points out the necessary skills our students need once they graduate from school. Sun and Gramoll's article demonstrates how structural analysis of trusses can be simulated over the Internet through a Web interface. This application allows engineering design activities to occur in classrooms that do not have the resources for stand-alone tools with this type of functionality. Barr, Krueger, and colleagues continue their work on defining a modern engineering design graphics curriculum. This paper demonstrates both the value of graphics in engineering education and the importance of quality assessment techniques. Finally, the Oppenheimer award winner, Dennis Lieu, provides a written version of what was an outstanding presentation at the Division's Mid-year meeting. His paper provides a counterpoint to Morales' article in demonstrating how animation can be used in more traditional mechanical engineering applications. Congratulations goes out to one of our own, Ron Barr, who was recently elected President-elect of ASEE. The Engineering Design Graphics Division has a long history of being active in ASEE and providing leadership at the regional and national levels. Finally, I'd like to encourage all of the membership to consider submitting articles to the Journal. The quality of the Journal is only as good as the articles submitted to it. If you don't have an manuscript right now, maybe you have a colleague who would be interested in submitting (we welcome non-members, too!). Whatever you can do to encourage submissions would be of benefit to the entire Division. |
