Abstract

Describes a first-year engineering dynamics course under development at two universities in Western Australia. The first part of the paper describes software intended to complement the traditional course structure, which is novel in that it consists of a unified set of book-like notes and fairly sophisticated computer animations of relevant dynamic systems. The second part of the paper describes physical laboratory exercises intended to broaden the students´ appreciation of the applicability of dynamics. The ultimate aim of this work is to develop a rich learning environment that will delight, challenge and inform its audience
