When it comes to discussing projections of the 3-dimensional force vector into its 2-dimensional components in the three planes shown, the use ofthe television camera proves invaluable. 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.

By using personal experience, the instructorreinforces the idea that this topic is one that the student will inevitably encounter, that it will notbe a simple issue to resolve, and that forethought into how the student will react in thesesituations may help them in their careers.A simple example of how this can be used in a class involves the subject of safety factors.Assume an engineer designs a project using appropriate safety factors. To provide aneconomical design, the engineer is likely to design close to allowable limits. After construction,while reviewing as-built drawings the engineer realizes a small construction change has reducedthe safety factor just below those allowed by code [say from 2.00 to
