, based on feedback fromstudents, calculus was incorporated into the camp. For 2009, E2 offered a range of mathsessions: Algebra, Trigonometry, Calculus I or Calculus II. The university math placement datawere used to properly group students. All students took a computer based pre test on the firstday of camp; students then had follow-up sessions in the lab at their particular level. Thisallowed the students to adjust to computer based math tests and problems in the universityenvironment.

software can provide students anexcellent visual learning experience in some cases. Another approach is to produce slow-motionvideo recordings of actual high speed physical events. However, professional-level high speedvideo equipment can cost thousands of dollars. Due to budgetary constraints, expensive high-speed video equipment is not affordable for many academic programs. This paper describes useof an affordable "off-the-shelf" camera that can record video at up to 1000 frames per second(fps) to assist in the teaching of a mechanical vibrations course and a fluid mechanics course in amechanical engineering curriculum. Examples used in the vibrations and fluid mechanicsclasses are overviewed, and lessons learned are discussed. In some cases

This gives usexperience in effectively communicating with non-technical individuals in a forgivingeducational setting.
