difficulty imagining how the system response would changeif one of the input parameters (mass, stiffness, damping, frequency of applied force, etc.) isincreased or decreased. The manner that we decided to address this deficiency was to createinteractive simulation modules (ISMs) in MATLAB that incorporate one or more of thesubcategories shown in Figure 1 in a simple demonstration and allow for the input parameters tobe modified by the user. Figure 1. Basic topics covered in a typical Vibrations courseThe framework of employing simulation modules as a learning tool is based on the fact thatmuch of the research in engineering education suggests that most engineering students are visual(as opposed to verbal) learners [2-3

There appears to bea correlation between grades in pre-engineering mathematics and physics and the engineeringstudents first course in Circuits I .5 Similarly there appears statistical evidence of a link betweensuccess in the early science classes and retention.6 Another proposed indicator for success inengineering is visual-spatial acuity.7 At one institution, North Carolina State, the engineeringstudent matriculates into the engineering program with a minimum 2.9/4.0 GPA.

At the other,collegiate textbooks and related curricula educate students in technical aspects ofcryptographic algorithms, security policy models, protocol analysis and other abstractelements of information security. These courses focus on the mathematical foundations ofsecurity; a typical textbook is (Bishop, 2005). The few books that fall between theseextremes (i.e. not specific to products and not focused on mathematical foundation)provide a superficial introduction at best.
