The exclusion of this class is the result of one or more of the following factors:  technical complexity of course topics,  lack of modern textbooks that serve to adequately explain challenging concepts,1  limited perceived necessity based on the majority of undergraduate student career paths,  availability of course at the graduate level for interested students, and/or  undergraduate degree credit hour constraints that restrict offering advanced electives.Universities that have historically offered structural dynamics at the undergraduate level seem tobe located in a region with high earthquake hazard, at sites affiliated with a

As shown in Figure 1, eachof these categories contains subcategories that relate to a different physical response. In a typicalVibrations course, the topics shown in Figure 1 are usually supplemented by a discussion onvibration control (which is an application of the SDOF and MDOF forced response), continuoussystems and basic finite element analysis (through which continuous systems are approximatedas MDOF systems).The breadth of topics that are covered in a typical Vibrations course and the complexitiesassociated with the mathematical solution of each subcategory can often be frustrating

Encouraging algorithmic thinking and working within theconstrained environment of a programming language helps reinforce the structured approach todesign and problem solving introduced earlier in the course.

This state-ment is made in comparison to the opportunities made possible with remote labs. Consideringthat remote labs are represented as equipment that can solve location, time and capacity con-straints in laboratory education, this is surprising as many educational institutions suffer fromexactly such constraints. Existing literature shows that classroom laboratory solutions aremainly stand-alone solutions which require physical equipment and cannot be used synchro-nously among several institutions [1], [2], [3].

suggests that that the divide between socialjustice (SJ) concerns and technical knowledge in engineering curricula is an important reasonthat students with SJ concerns leave engineering [1, 2].
