To create a high qualityportfolio, students must organize, synthesize, and clearly describe their achievements andeffectively communicate what they have learned.Instructional approaches emphasizing the student-centered learning has increased the value ofportfolios by better providing an understanding of the “What, Why and How” of the learningprocess. This has lead to the appreciation of portfolios as an assessment tool for classroomperformance.

Much of this difficulty stems from the inability to “see” orphysically comprehend the motion of multiple rigid bodies. Couple this rigid body motion withthe context of reference frames, and the students “sight” and understanding of the motionbecomes even more clouded. Numerous examples and

The proliferation of powerful computersin education and at home, coupled with the availability of many affordable software packages for controldesign and dynamic simulation (or multibody simulation), makes it possible to introduce a significant graph-ical simulation component into the dynamics and control education.

with a strong set of hands-on skills alreadyin place. These skills were often developed from farm work that involved working withmachines or structures. In other cases, it was common for an engineering student tohave taken apart or rebuilt a car during high school. The educational process inengineering laboratories was a natural extension of these backgrounds. Students oftencame into the laboratory with more advanced skills in working with their hands - a keyexperience for building visualization skills. Life on a farm or taking apart of an old caroften provided experiences that lent relevance to engineering laboratory topics. Forexample a rotating shaft on a piece of farm machinery provided a practical application toconcepts in torsion.We
