| Description: | EDICS, the Engineering Design Instructional Computer System, is designed to help students learn about engineering topics including bearings, cylinders, shafts and rotors and drafting. EDICS is multimedia a application that is contains video, audio, graphics, and animation. This courseware in broken down into four sections: 1. Designing with various types of mechanical bearings. 2. Attaching rotors and disks to shafts (and shafts to shafts). 3. Connecting cylinders to each other and putting caps on the ends of cylinders. 4. Learning the basics of engineering drawing. EDICS divides each topic into nine sections: introduction, physics, design specifications, good practice, examples, dictionary, reviews (self-test) and study breaks.
