The first class is the introduction to wind and solar electric energy,different categories of wind and solar electric energy, selection criteria, distributed generation, and thepast, present and future trends of renewable resources. The second class is to introduce the grid-connectedwind turbine using MATLAB/SIMULINK (assuming that students already know MATLAB/SIMULINK;otherwise they can have extra help from the instructor). The steady state and the transient behavior wouldbe analyzed. This class should use PowerPoint and/or animation software for the presentation. The

due to the growth oftechnologies, fast connections, and the widespread use of mobile devices. As a result,cybersecurity education is in dire need of an innovative curriculum and teaching approaches.Game-based learning is one of the emergent and quickly evolving types of computer-basedlearning. Creating cloud services and ready-to-use cybersecurity training courses, with a focus onteaching and training cybersecurity algorithms is essential [3]. Providing a virtual lab offers apractical learning environment is a crucial step, to enable thousands of students to access onlinecybersecurity education [4]. A visual lab provides students with a simulated environment wherethey can gain hands-on experience with cybersecurity tools and techniques

The animated gifof protein unfolding was also quite helpful and gave a unique look at how protein unfolding byextension could occur.” Another sample feedback that we received from a group of three ECEstudents at the University of Michigan-Dearborn was as follows: “I felt excitement exploring aproblem at the intersection of biochemistry and robotics! This is a fascinating and exciting fieldthat holds a lot of promise for the future of medicine, biotechnology, and beyond.”Despite this positive experience, the students had also run into certain issues with the remoteservers running the molecular dynamics simulations on NanoHub.

GradeAbstractEngineering courses have seen a rise in the usage of online textbooks, especially in response tothe COVID-19 pandemic and the need for classes to be remote. Some of these online textbookscontain learning questions, video media, animations, simulations, 3D tools, and other interactiveelements. The goal for these interactive elements is for students to engage through reading,answering questions, watching videos, stepping through animations, or otherwise participatingwith the interactive content. Despite the availability of such interactivity, student engagement isnot a guarantee. Due to time constraints and other pressures, students may opt for racing throughthe textbook or skipping the interactive elements entirely, rather than earnestly interacting

comment was “I liked how it showed the gradualchange of the stresses.” The one student who did not respond favorably noted: “No, I have fairlygood visualization skills. It backed up what I already understood.” In summary, studentsgenerally indicated that the DVD enhanced their understanding of the concept of the state-of-stress at a point and the lead author will continue to use this DVD as a teaching aid whenteaching this course.6. ConclusionsA CAE-based simulation / animation tool has been developed for permitting the dynamic 3Dvisualization of the state-of-stress at a point using an arbitrary time varying coordinate frameattached to the differential cube. It was made possible through a change of tensor bases,numerically computing software (i.e
