Abstract
Advances in computer hardware have reached the stage
where even entry level PC's have very powerful graphics
capabilities. The storage of large numbers of images and
video is possible using data compression techniques and
commonly available CD's. Many numerical analysis
packages now offer graphical user interfaces, but the real
potential of the graphics capability of multimedia PC's has
yet to be exploited. Multimedia offers a very flexible and
powerful resource for teaching purposes. A multimedia
application currently under development is to provide a
bridge aesthetics teaching resource for engineers.
