Revolutionizing Dynamics Teaching and Learning with Interactive Symbolic Computation Tools

This project aims to replace the traditional teaching approach of showing still images for the course CIVL4330 Introduction to Structural Dynamics with the objectives:

• To promote the use of “compu-graphical” methods
• To visualize solutions
• To transfer instant numeric and symbolic data between teacher and students
• To allow interaction and collaboration on solving dynamics problems

In the course, students will adopt hand-held CAS and associated educational technology during lectures, tutorials and exams.
