However, always, meta-cognitive skills formanaging personal learning conversations with ones-selves and others are of greatimportance [1].VI - ILLUSTRATA MODELS AND SIMULATIONSThe POWERGUIDE models are Systemic problem worksheets, computationalsimulations of components, circuits, and algorithmic computer animation displays. Thetutorial simulation combines two modes of discourse: didactic and experiential.Laurillard [10] describes the two types of feedback particular to these modes: extrinsicand intrinsic feedback. The tutorial aspect of instruction involves extrinsic feedback,which consists of comments on the learner’s action (e.g., "That is correct" or "Pleasechoose a different option").The simulations, however, offer intrinsic feedback

A source code i.e. the program Crank.PAS inAppendix 1, is provided as a starter application of the MeKin2D subroutines. The Crank.PASprogram has almost all elements of a MeKin2D simulation program i.e. declaration of the libraryof subroutines (units) utilized, workspace-limit definition, main simulation loop, use of a meterto display the crank angle, DXF file output etc. The program animates on the computer screen arotating crank (see Figure 1-a), and writes to a

: Digital SimulationsStudents are presented with several real-world examples of dynamics simulations in theform of animations taken from popular culture. Examples include the computer generatedanimation of spacecraft from science fiction films, computer generated characters fromfantasy films, and the animation of human characters from popular video games. Nextstudents are shown animations from various engineering presentations that show thesimulated deformation of solid objects, the simulated flow of air currents in a weathermodel, and the simulated results of an automotive crash test. What all of these exampleshave in common is they are all visually appealing products of some underlying dynamicsmodel.Figure 7: Digital Dynamics Simulations: 1

NS simulator uses avisual tool called NAM. NAM is a Tcl/TK based animation tool for viewing network simulation tracesand real world packet trace data. The design theory behind NAM was to create an animator that is able toread large animation data sets and be extensible enough so that it could be used in different networkvisualization situations. 2The first step to use NAM is to produce the trace file. The trace file contains topology information, e.g.,nodes, links, as well as packet traces. Usually, the

Both experiment and theory are useful in making this connection.Incorporate modern computer simulation into the curriculum.While scientific computing has achieved equal standing with experimentation and analyticaltheory in research, it has not yet had a significant impact on the teaching of fluid mechanics.This is a serious challenge that must be addressed. Learning is enhanced by the ability tosimulate and visualize flows which cannot be expressed by analytical theory. The use ofcomputation is invaluable in providing the ability to systematically vary parameters and studythe evolution of flow structures and flow physics that occurs as a result.

The lab should not beexcluded from the curriculum as it provides useful hands-on learning. The computer simulationcould also be added as a supplementary addition to the course.When in the actual laboratory, we worked in groups of 6 people.

lab times.• Limited resources to support students outside labs and the classroom: In many cases, no lab assistant support is available.• Limited equipment to support lab assignments: Because lab equipment is often expensive, students must often work in groups. For example, an industrial scale PLC—such as an Allen Bradley RSLogix 5550 processor and a set of I/O cards—costs about $8000.To help offset these obstacles, in recent years, a variety of computer and networkingtechnologies have been developed. For example, remote laboratories (also known as e-Lab,Tele-Lab)5,6, virtual laboratories8,9,10,11, and hybrid laboratories6 have been developed to reducelab equipment setup costs and increase accessibility.
