AB  - This is a work in progress study of implementing novel educational content delivery methods. Such efforts have been actively developed over the years, as early as 300BC. Counting boards, abacus; clay and wooden tablets were used to convey, preserve and share complex ideas across the communities. Rapid advancement of technology has never stopped. As we advance and build our knowledge, the tools and methods of teaching must also align, adapt and grow. 

Development of visual aids is important because it enhances our ability to reach and teach every student within our diverse community; by breaching the communication boundary though vivid visualization. There are many words which can be used to describe concepts and phenomenon. Sometimes the meaning may be lost due to differences in interpretation of language between the student and the teacher which may manifest due to cultural and ethical differences.  

Visual aids allow the student to develop their own interpretation of the concept, using their internal language and understanding, which then can be guided by us the educators. 

This work will explore how interactive 3D viewports may be used within the classroom with focus on fundamental engineering mathematics.  

Using traditional methods of drawing isometric free-body diagrams (FBD) and sketches representing vector mathematics concepts can be challenging for our students; especially once we start to consider these concepts in three dimensions. In this work, we will develop and implement supplemental course content to aid our students in developing their spatial understanding of the following concepts: Vector definition, addition, subtraction, dot and cross products.  

These interactive experiences will be evaluated by Instructors and Teaching Assistants during the office hours to assess their effectiveness, before further implementation within the core course offering. The results obtained during this study will serve as a basis for further utilization of technology and assess its potential of enhancing other courses.
