“…Such efforts were described in [4], [5], [6], and [9]. In [8], [10], a Visual C++, Direct-3D based software was generated for interactive modeling, simulation, animation, and control f dynamic systems. In [7], the ubiquitous world wide web was utilized to implement computer animated simulation instruction modules.…”

This paper reports on the use of dynamic animation to enhance learning and interest for a senior level course on system analysis. This course includes analytic methods from both frequency and time domains with emphasis on real world problems. Ansim, the freely available Mathworks animation toolbox, was chosen because it works seamlessly with Matlab/Simulink, a required software for the EE undergraduate curriculum. A series of lab sessions are introduced to the class to complement the lecture materials and to guide the students into the design project. The use of animation provides many advantages: better visual effects, improved communications, and higher interest levels. Student response has been very positive. A number of recommendations are made in this work based on instructor observation and course evaluations. (II) Course Description Dynamic animation was introduced into the senior level course "EE482 Instrumentation and Control" in the 2000 academic year and has since been an integral part of this required course. The old curriculum focused extensively on classical frequency response methods such as complex variables, frequency response methods (Bode, Nyquist, Nichols), stability assessment techniques (Routh-Hurwitz, root locus), performance criteria (sensitivity, steady accuracy, transient response), and compensation (lag, lead). Although it may be argued that the course contents possess educational values, it is generally agreed that significant revision is necessary to reflect the change in technologies and modern engineering career challenges. In particular, computer-aided analysis, state space methods, and nonlinear systems are introduced into the curriculum, replacing lag, lead compensation, Nichols chart, and parts of the performance criteria. That is, the emphasis of the Page 7.508.2 course is on analysis rather than control design which is relegated to a second course "EE486 Control Systems Electives". An outline of the lecture is shown below:
