Computer Aided Problem Based Learning in Engineering Dynamics

Abstract:

In this paper we demonstrated the use of Problem Based Learning (PBL) in undergraduate Engineering Dynamics. In PBL, the students enhance their learning by solving problems. In some engineering courses, often the students are not able to explore real life and somewhat complex problems due to inability to handle the mathematical rigor. By using software such as Mathematica® we created modules for some Engineering Dynamics problems. These modules allowed students to concentrate on the formulation and “Physics” and interpretation of the problems of the rather than the rigors of mathematical solutions.
