Only a few studies includeddefinitions of these two terms. According to Larvive 16, “animation” is a form of cartoon used tohelp one visualize a difficult concept, in place of a description of the concept in words; and“simulation” is a program that accepts inputs, and simulates experimentations via

In the allowable stress experiment,students used a simple double lap connection (provided in the lab kits and shown in Figure 1)made of balsa wood to measure allowable shear stress. Students added an adhesive (such asdouble sided tape) to the Part B illustrated in Figure 1, and then suspended increasing weight toget to failure. In this lab, as well as many other labs, students were required to fashion a hangersystem and determine a means to accurately determine

Not only wasthe style of exposition distinctly different from today’s textbooks, but these texts effectivelyblended analytical and graphical techniques for solving engineering problems. Realizing that, inboth these cases, calculators were not available to students, professors or working engineers,served to emphasize the usefulness and power of the graphical techniques. These graphicalapproaches, while grounded in mathematics, had a great deal of embedded visual and physicalintuition.References[1] Baxter, S. C., & Johnson, A., & Fralick, B. S.

Naturally, there are advantages and disadvantages in using any of the above meth-ods. By and large, the method of double integration is a frequently used method in determiningslopes and deflections, as well as statically indeterminate reactions at supports, of beams. With-out use of singularity functions, the method of double integration has an advantage of needing aprerequisite in mathematics only up to simple calculus

To date, we have utilized three differentassignment versions in our dynamics course: (a) allowing students to select their own artefact foranalysis, (b) supplying six specific artefacts for analysis, and (c) interfacing with a Kinesiologyclass on motor learning to provide “expert” engineering advice on performance measures ofnovice jugglers versus advanced jugglers.We
