For instance, in a resistor-inductor-capacitor (RLC) circuit, differentialequations are used to arrive at the steady-state solution, and multiple drawings of different statescan only be done at coarse-grained steps to illustrate the dynamics. Hands-on laboratories can aidin illustrating theoretical concepts by working with physical components and measuring tools(e.g., building small circuits and using oscilloscopes). However, these laboratories tend to becarried out in a subsequent semester after the students have finished with the theoreticalfoundations. There is a need to provide dynamic illustrations at a fine granularity to studentswhile theoretical concepts are discussed in the classroom (challenge #2).Based
