Students will have the opportunity to apply what they have learned and develop computer models that simulate the ‘physical’ processes. They can quickly understand, through the aid of the simulation, how sensitive the dynamic processes are to small variations in the initial conditions

Calculating the center-of-pressure of a circular arc
Be it Statics or Dynamics, the simple landscape can be defined
Considerations beyond the isolated ‘Life-in-a-Vacuum’ can be factored and integrated
- Indeed, what about Drag?
Variations to the problem space’s governing parameters can then be explored and analyzed
