Many topics in engineering curricula rely on visual components to help convey concepts that are difficult to describe in purely text-based form. Similarly, raw data plotted in a colorful threedimensional graph brings life to otherwise static numerical information. The extraordinary value of providing a visual component to teaching and learning is well documented. Adding animation to visual components only serves to enhance the learning experience even further. The use of animation allows students to view dynamic processes in various topics throughout all engineering disciplines in a manner that effectively engages the student in the learning process. However, the task of creating simulations and animations is frequently a daunting, timeconsuming task where regardless of the usefulness there is simply not enough time in a day to create such a worthwhile experience for students. Therefore, providing instructors with the capability to create, with ease, animations of complex engineering systems and providing students with the opportunity to view these "living" systems is invaluable in the quest to enhance teaching and learning and to retain student interest in the subject matter.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
