Resources will be used to establish an undergraduate teaching classroom. This classroom will center around the UNIX based scientific workstations for the purpose of enhancing engineering analysis and design. The specific objectives center around the conversion of existing programs for use on the UNIX systems, incorporation of new programs which will soon be released for the UNIX system, and thirdly the development of new programs. It is planned to evaluate an integrated analysis and design project which runs throughout the student's sophomore, junior, and senior year and is interdisciplinary in nature. An example engineering project includes a bridge or water treatment plant and how the material taught in each of the specific engineering courses would relate to the ultimate planning analysis, design and construction of this project. In order to establish this plan, a computer classroom with the computational capabilities of networked scientific work stations, file servers, and peripherals is needed. Starting in the sophomore year simple analysis applications covered in the basic courses will be translated to specific project topics. In sequential courses such as soil mechanics, foundation design, steel design, concrete design, hydraulics, hydrology, transportation, etc. the concepts covered will be translated to the specific project. This project will be a coherent computer-based analysis and design experience for the students running through several courses.

资源将用于建立本科教学教室。本课堂将围绕基于Unix的科学工作站，以加强工程分析和设计为目的。具体目标围绕着转换现有程序以供在Unix系统上使用，纳入即将为Unix系统发布的新程序，以及第三，开发新程序。它计划评估一个综合的分析和设计项目，贯穿学生的大二、大三和大四，本质上是跨学科的。一个工程项目的例子包括一座桥梁或水处理厂，以及每门具体工程课程中教授的材料如何与该项目的最终规划分析、设计和施工相关联。为了制定这一计划，需要一个具有联网科学工作站、文件服务器和外围设备计算能力的计算机教室。从大二开始，基础课程中涵盖的简单分析应用程序将被翻译成特定的项目主题。在土力学、基础设计、钢结构设计、混凝土设计、水力学、水文学、交通运输等连续课程中，所涵盖的概念将转化为具体的项目。这个项目将是一个连贯的基于计算机的分析和设计经验，学生贯穿几门课程。
