Using Contemporary Tools to Teach Dynamics in Engineering Technology

The following paper illustrates the usage of modern educational tools in teaching dynamics to students of engineering technology. Problems in engineering technology are traditionally skill based rather than theory based. As a result the instructor has to illustrate problems keeping the hands-on approach in mind. One of the best ways to exemplify theory, to meet the above requirements, is the usage of modern educational tools like multimedia, simulation software and visualization techniques. This helps the students to understand the engineering aspect of dynamics from the pure science aspect of the subject matter D a key feature in satisfying our program requirement.
