	The Captains of Energy Vincent C. Prantil, Timothy Decker In teaching an introduction to transport or systems dynamics modeling at the undergraduate level, it is possible to lose pedagogical traction in a sea of abstract mathematics. What the mathematical modeling of time-dependent system behavior offers is… Publication Date: 02/01/2015 Read More
	Lying by Approximation Vincent C. Prantil, Christopher Papadopoulos, Paul D. Gessler In teaching an introduction to the finite element method at the undergraduate level, a prudent mix of theory and applications is often sought. In many cases, analysts use the finite element method to perform parametric studies on potential designs t… Publication Date: 08/01/2013 Read More
