Abstract

Instructors of two year hydraulic technician programs encounter many students who do not understand prerequisite material. This is a prevalent concern in all fields, and multimedia software is one of the more recent developments that can be used to solve the problem. Software that centers around multimedia simulations of basic hydraulic machines while reinforcing math concepts appeals to hydraulics instructors. This paper describes multimedia software that is being developed to fulfill their need. It discusses the importance of the software as well as its structure and potential use.
