used as supplementary material in a senior-level vibrations course.The fourth module uses Matlab. Student feedback is included.IntroductionThe advent of student-owned personal computers in the early 1980’s sparked an interest inmotion simulation software. The simple notion is that if students are able to see an animation ofthe systems that they are studying, especially for their choice of conditions, then they are muchmore likely to understand the material. A number of investigators1-5 have worked in this area.The history of the motion-simulation modules presented in this paper dates back to the early1980’s when personal computers were first required for undergraduate engineering students atVirginia Tech.

A single educational environment can be defined asa department(s), school(s), or colleges(s). Such an arrangement provides an opportunity wherethe engineering and technology curriculum blend to offer the students a wide range of experienceand knowledge. In addition, it provides the local communities and industry with integratedworkforce that has a high diversity of engineering and technology skills.

In the 1960’s, however, these industries began a slow,precipitous decline which accelerated in the 1970’s and 1980’s. At the same time, newindustries, which required higher skill sets, began locating in the greater Portland area.These included such companies as National Semiconductor, Fairchild Semiconductor,Pratt and Whitney, Idexx Laboratories and other. These industries were interested inhaving a local institution which would not only provide educational opportunities fortheir employees but also would be a source of new engineers

. Descriptive studies suggest intellectual gain is associatedwith undergraduate research [8]. A few very well-designed assessment studies have demonstratedthat students involved in research perceive an intellectual gain from such experiences. This type ofproject is quite suitable for Independent Study/Research by a student or a group of students. For thistype of study, the Faculty prepares a contract for the student(s) that details the scope of work to beaccomplished and the deliverables including a final report detailing the procedures and resultsobtained.
