In the automode the simulation shows students a chain of processes and the computer process controlmanipulations that occur during protein purification utilizing a computer controlled liquidchromatography system. The step-by-step mode enables students to explore each step,including controller settings and programming, in real-time detail. Students also learn how touse a chromatogram to make calculations, for instance how to calculate the efficiency ofcolumn packing, or the resolution of two peaks on a chromatogram. (Fig.3). Page

After the student launches a processing or testing plug-in,they then input the experimental conditions. For example in the case of a Rockwell Hardnesstest, the students will select the applied load and type of indentor. They would be responsible forselecting the appropriate combination to give a valid result. When the simulation is started, thestudent will see a 2- or 3-D computer animation or digitized video segment. Animations arepreferred because they can be changed by the plug-in based on the

For example, Du Val and He used state-of-the-art aircraftmodeling and simulation tools for rotorcraft design, analysis, test, and full-flight simulationapplications [18].

IntroductionA downward trend in enrollment in graduate and undergraduate electrical power engineeringprograms has been observed over the last decade or two 1-2. The causes have been attributedto shifting interests among the student population and stalling electrical load-growthdynamics, among others. Efforts to remedy the decline in interest have resulted in the wideruse of computer simulation tools. This has significantly aided students in gaining a betterunderstanding of power system devices and

I think this seminar showed how important mathematical concepts are outside of the classroom and promoted exploration and intrigue in the learning process. I am very interested in attempting to use some of these strategies in my classroom to increase student engagement and show them the utility of mathematics. The seminar was very informative and implemented a numerous amount of activities and strategies that can be applied at the high school level.
