Other courses like dynamics are designed and analyzed usingtrigonometric functions. Even earthquake wave motion can be described with the sine function. Itis this sine function that became the basis for introducing the sine function in MATLABprogramming to create a melodious sound. The sine function was also introduced after thedemonstration of a laboratory-grade mass spring system while measuring SHM using a Vernier™Motion Detector.MATLAB and Wave MotionEngineering educators have previously presented algorithmic tools like MATLAB to solve forsinusoidal-based models for projectile motion [4].

Their attitude toward DCT usuallymoves from adversarial to neutral and not infrequently to a positive view of this type of testing.Once the initial apprehension has passed, most students recognise the competency test as achallenge but not as insurmountable obstacle. Some perceive it as a “tune-up” when thecompetency precedes a traditional exam. Some view the competency question embedded withina traditional exam as “the easy problem” on that exam.

The particular focus of this paper is on the development of one pathway tomotivation; learner centered games that address the student’s interests by integrating the learningprocess with entertainment, an atypical educational setting.There are many possible approaches to designing an activity that will create a pathway to studentmotivation. One method is to randomly experiment with different activities and record studentresponses and outcomes. Although much can be learned from this process it is time consumingand students may not always benefit. A more
