Technology assisted problem solving packages for engineering

Abstract

This chapter presents the development of technology-assisted problem solving (TAPS) packages at University Tenaga Nasional (UNITEN). This project is the further work of the development of interactive multimedia-based packages targeted for students having problems in understanding the subject of engineering mechanics dynamics. One facet of the project is the development of engineering mechanics dynamics problems for core undergraduate engineering courses. This chapter discusses the development of an interactive multimedia environment for solving relative motion of a rigid body using rotating axes. More specifically this chapter outlines the framework used to develop the multimedia package, highlighting our multimedia design process and philosophy. © 2008, IGI Global.
