Students' learning performancecurve alleviates while using the project-based learning (PBL) technique, as they experience the process inreal-time [7], [8]. They apply their theoretical knowledge acquired in class within the defined context. Anengineering technology level-4 course named "Ergonomics and Process Optimization" had been instructedfollowing the PBL technique in Fall 2019.

The camera angle can be changed to show the variousprojections. With the camera directly above the model for example, the resulting view wouldrepresent the projection of the force onto the horizontal (blue) plane. Appropriate camera anglesare used to illustrate projections on the other planes.ConclusionThe experience gained in developing computer animations and simulations for enhancinginstruction in the Statics course was quite valuable.
