developing theapplications. These, and other, impediments to the successful use of animations were noted byNaps et al. [2]. The system discussed here avoids these problems by requiring only a littlescripting on behalf of the author, and a user with a web-browser with JavaScript.IntroductionThe system described in this paper easily allows a user to create web-based animations of linearsystems while requiring no web-programming experience.. S/he simply writes a simple script.The system is described mathematically by using a state-space model (i.e, A, B, C and Dmatrices) with initial conditions and optional input functions. The drawing to be animated isdescribed in terms of graphics primitives such as masses, springs, resistors, and capacitors.System

This included 12 Mac Mini workstations, 1224-inch Dell LCD widescreen monitors, 12 iPod Touch devices, and 3 iPad tablet devices. Totalcost could have been reduced by approximately $3,000 by using existing computer monitors.Necessary funding was realized through two sources: an unrestricted gift from ArcelorMittal;and some funds from our department’s annual Supply and Expense (S&E) fund.Fall

Based on recent experience with pen-based technologies in ENGR 315, the instructor now uses this method in other courses, recommends this learning environment to colleagues, and is experimenting with new technology as part of the continual improvement process. All ENGR 315 students (and possibly all School of Engineering Technology students) Page 22.1628.10 need to use pen-based tablet technology in this (these) course(s).
