Animation as a Problem Solving Technique in Mechanical Engineering Education

It is apparent that engineering education requires an environment that is fully functional and practical in order to achieve the best results for students. Multimedia technologies specifically animation renders the classroom more attractive and interactive. When students are accustomed to studying in such a developed environment they will not only understand faster but will also be more creative and are more likely to generate more practical and inventive ideas. Moreover, animation delivers information in a creative manner that makes it difficult for students to forget thus resulting in better knowledge retention and improved academic performance.
