College-level engineering widgets for your website

[Kathy_Bautista]

Have you created a website for your course? Or maybe you have a personal website? If so, be sure to check out the new Wolfram|Alpha Widgets. Here are a few that you may be interested in if you teach college-level engineering or computer science.

Thermodynamic properties

This widget shows the thermodynamic properties of gasses at specified temperature and pressure.

Butterworth Low Pass Filter
http://developer.wolframalpha.com/widge ... b27e944bf9
A signal processing analysis widget that calculates the order and produces the transfer function for a low-pass butterworth filter, given its passband limit and stopband frequency.

Maximum spring force

Wolfram|Alpha Widgets are free, personalized mini-apps that leverage the depth and breadth of the Wolfram|Alpha computational knowledge engine. Widgets can do almost anything, from calculating calories in a recipe to solving complex equations. If Wolfram|Alpha can answer your query, you can use it to create a widget.
