Abstract: MELANIE PALARAN NEPOMUCENO and ELILIBETH SARAZA SALE, "Online Computer-Aided Instruction on Engineering Mechanics", Undergraduate Special Problem, Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite, April 2004, Adviser: Mr. Simeon E. Daez. The study was conducted at the College of Engineering and Information Technology at Cavite State University from July 2003 to February 2004. The study aimed to develop an Online Computer-Aided Instruction on Engineering Mechanics. Specifically, it aimed to create an on-line computer-aided instruction that will increase the interest of the users in learning Engineering Mechanics through the use of multimedia; provide an instructional material that is readily accessible through the internet; and lessen the burden of the instructors particularly in preparing teaching aids for the students. In developing the software, data were gathered through interviews and researches. The software was then designed following the Hierarchical Input Process Output (HIPO)/Input Process Output (IPO) chart in order to visualize the program architecture. The developed software used Fourth-Generation Technique as the paradigm and Hypertext Preprocessor Programming Language (PHP) as the programming language. The software was tested using function and performance test. The software includes texts, sounds, pictures, and graphics that make the software enjoyable and easy to understand. It teaches and gives information on Engineering Mechanics. It covers eight chapters such as the fundamental principles of equilibrium of rigid bodies; first and second moment of mass, volume, area and length; static equilibrium of rigid bodies and rectilinear, curvilinear and planar motion, force, mass, and acceleration; impulse and momentum; mechanical vibrations. It also includes Quizzes, Help function, and Glossary of Terms. After the actual development of the software, the proponents conducted a survey regarding the needed for the software among 88 respondents. The study was found to be an effective way of presenting engineering Mechanics to the students after passing several tests like evaluation of the software. It would serve as support/additional reference for the beneficiaries of the software. It can also be a great help for the instructors in presenting the lessons to the students. The proponents believed that developing software for Engineering Mechanics should be uploaded for the benefit of the student taking up the subject Engineering Mechanics because the software will serve as an additional reference for them. An additional page for posting of comments so that the users will be able to give their opinion about the subject. Use of other operating system such as UNIX for maximum use of the software for implementation would further enhance the study.
