appliedproblems[11]. The integration of technology in the teaching and learning of linear algebra can havea positive impact on students’ understanding and application of the subject matter. Byleveraging the computational power of computers, students can explore complex conceptsand solve more challenging problems. This approach also provides opportunities for hands-onlearning and promotes active engagement in the learning process. As such, the incorporationof hardware and software in the teaching of linear algebra has become increasingly important,as it enhances students’ problem-solving skills and prepares them for real-world applications.This approach not only improves the effectiveness of learning but also better aligns with theevolving demands of

Studentsgain knowledge by actually applying loads to virtual 3D objects.The application is a virtual prototype in which users are able to create, edit and manipulate 3Dobjects from remote sites. In this virtual prototype, engineering students use simulation to mimicthe situation of applying a force on a bracket with a boundary condition. The analysis result, themaximum twist angle, is displayed to all the students’ browsers in real-time after a force isapplied or moved. To encourage group learning, this virtual world allows the students to learn onthe same 3D object synchronously.

Throughout the course, students have opportunities to submit feedback comments and torespond to questionnaires specifically addressing the pedagogical value of the helicopter theme.In a voluntary survey of 75 students, 49 responded with significant input; 95% of these studentsendorsed the idea and offered positive comments about the use of helicopters as a theme in thecourse. Overall there was strong reception to the approach. Specific comments included:□ I definitely endorse the use of the helicopter components as a way to connect the things we are learning to real world applications.□ It is awesome being able to relate the things that I’ve learned not only in machine elements, but past classes like mechanics of materials, to helicopters.

These active learningmethods helped facilitate the instructor-student interaction which was previously challenging toprovide in a large classroom.To enable students to apply their knowledge in real world applications, a series of optional,small, strength-based projects (SBP) were added to the course. Students were able to contributeto the course based on their personal interests and expertise by completing small projects inwhich the application of a mechanics concept was demonstrated in a real-life example.Multiple forms of assessment were offered to students allowing them to demonstrate their gainedlearning using alternative modalities.
