<title>Real-time interactive virtual tour on the World Wide Web (WWW)</title>

This paper presents the use of developed software tools for engineering education accessible via a web browser over the World Wide Web. The primary purpose of this work aims at improving the understanding of engineering fundamentals through interactive real-time simulation. The environment consists of modules for interactive real-time simulation of linear time invariant dynamic systems, and for the synthesis and analysis of planar mechanisms. The user interface enables easy understanding of the required inputs from the user. The outputs are presented in pictorial, graphical and textual forms. In addition to these forms, for the mechanism modules the user has the option to view an animation of the synthesized mechanism. This work demonstrates the ease of implementation, advantages of using this technology to aid in classroom instruction and provides valuable analysis tools to engineering professionals. Examples demonstrating features of the developed tools are presented. Users with Internet access can use the developed modules at http://zodhia.uta.edu/development.

First Time

Perhaps for the first time since the computer made its debut, the teacher is in the position to command the technology-based instructional resources used in the classroom. Gone are the days when teachers must rely solely on the expertise of computer professionals to create computer-assistedinstruction. With the advent of the World Wide Web, creating student-centered, ageappropriate material rests in the hands of the classroom teacher. The Virtual Tour is the newest link to literally millions of content specific sites that supply images, sounds, and video media.
