Force Polygon, Shaping Structures: Statics CD-ROMThe only wrong thing you can do with the CD-ROM is not to use it in your classroom!

The Shaping Structures: Statics CD-ROM is unlike any other teaching tool you will encounter.

Developed by Joseph Iano in close collaboration with the authors, using the CD-ROM is the next best thing to having Edward Allen and Waclaw Zalewski assisting in your classroom.

The CD-ROM provides eight lessons covering  the most important principles of graphic statics, each demonstrated in exacting step-by-step detail. Its benefits include:

  • Each lesson is illustrated step-by-step, accurately to scale.
  • Color and strong graphics are used for maximum clarity.
  • "Bookmarks" make it easy to jump back and forth in a lesson for review or in response to questions from your students.
  • The CD-ROM works equally well as a classroom demonstration tool or as a self-paced learning aid for your students.
