Given the relative complexity of each of these devices,schematics and videos taken from a variety of engineering databases are used to illustrate eachsystem’s fundamental mode of operation.

En-gineering Dynamics, by its very nature, is organic and connected – topics sequentially build uponprevious concepts. This prevents a fragmented and discrete presentation of the course material,which in turn increases cognitive load on students. It is widely believed among the students that Dynamics is best taken in-person, while thepaucity of an online version of the class seems to indicate that the educators have not been con-vinced of the idea of an online class either.
