“…MATLAB has been utilized extensively and is one of the most common animation and simulation tools. For example, Jacquot et al used MATLAB to animate electrical transmission lines 1 , for clarification of partial differential equation solutions using 2-dimensional (2-D) and 3dimensional (3-D) graphics 2 , and for providing visualization of partial differential equations 3 .…”

“…For example, a simple MATLAB animation may consist of lengthy computer programs consisting of several hundred lines of programming to produce even the most basic animations as shown in Figure 1. 1,6 Figure 1. Transmission Line Simulator requiring non-trivial programming skills 1,6 The tool highlighted in this paper is Power Point.…”

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.

“…These papers approach the assistance in teaching from two points of view. The first is the use of simple low-cost experiments to demonstrate the concepts [1][2][3] and the second approach employs computer animation 4,5 . Another recent paper discusses the concept of teaching transmission lines early in the electromagnetics sequence 6 .…”
