Muchrecent literature has focused on development of numerical modeling into engineering classes [3-5], citing its benefits in assisting complicated problems while prioritizing software approaches thatuse analytical techniques. Such numerical approaches to problem-solving can also be beneficial asthey can be leveraged by existing knowledge that students have developed in their previouscourses, including in mathematics [6]. However, students should still understand the underlyingtheory for programs to best interpret the results and understand limitations present in the
