the paper.I. IntroductionRecent experiences in teaching structural dynamics to civil engineering students suggest thatexposing students to physical models of dynamic systems may significantly enhance theirunderstanding of the topic. Many students of this generation appear to be focused on themathematical modeling of dynamic systems and do a good job of solving the mathematicalproblems, but lack a clear understanding of the physical implications of the solutions which theyobtain. It is believed that if students could be motivated to study physical models along with thecorresponding mathematical models, they would develop a much deeper understanding of thedynamic solutions, and also gain an appreciation of the implied assumptions of

This topic can thereforepose a high intrinsic cognitive load on students, potentially overwhelming their workingmemories and impeding the necessary formation of schemas in long-term memory [2, 3].For students to learn effectively in such courses, active learning through problem solving isessential.

example, diffusion is an important topic covered in course Kinetic Processes in Materials(MSE 402). Here, a module of MD simulation of diffusion processes is designed, in which thestudents are instructed to run LAMMPS simulations with the help of example input scripts, andanalyze the output data for diffusion coefficients. By running the simulations with differentparticles and at different temperatures, the students are able to check their results against thequantitative relations taught in class, such as the Stokes-Einstein Equation, Arrhenius Equation,etc. In this way, the students get hands-on experience of observing atomic diffusion in a“computer experiment”, which hopefully aids their understanding of the in-classknowledge.Generally, a
