THE PIGSKIN PROFESSOR: VIDEO PRESENTATIONS OF ENGINEERING FUNDAMENTALS

摘要

This paper describes collaboration between the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering and Digital Worlds Institute at the University of Florida to develop a series of videos describing fundamental engineering concepts in the language of football. These videos, which were shown during the six home football games for the 2003 season, reached a diverse audience of over 84,000 fans at each game and provided a unique opportunity to discuss engineering in a high-profile forum. The objective was to stimulate excitement and interest in engineering education.
