Analytic Mechanics - Dynamics Engineering with Clickers and Blended Learning.

One of the prerequisites for the dynamics course is statics (ENGR30). In the statics course students have been introduced to diagrams known as free-body diagrams. These diagrams show the magnitude and direction of external reactions acting on an object. In dynamics, these free-body diagrams coupled with another set of diagrams known as kinetic diagrams are ubiquitous in analyzing an object that is in motion. The goal of this project is to provide a medium through which the student will be able to visualize the motion of objects and practice generating the appropriate diagrams.
