INTEGRATING DYNAMIC SYSTEMS MATERIALS INTO A MECHANICAL ENGINEERING CURRICULUM THROUGH INNOVATIVE USE OF WEB-BASED ACQUISITION AND HANDS-ON APPLICATION AND USE OF VIRTUAL GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACES Part 3: Dynamic Systems—Analytical and Experimental

摘要

A Dynamic Systems course always relies on materials from previous mathematics and engineering courses. These underlying courses are critical to the student’s understanding of material related to dynamic systems response. Unfortunately, students rarely see the inter-relationship between materials from different courses since there is no obvious common link. A Dynamic Systems course must allow students to see the inter-relationship of earlier course prerequisite material.
