    Case study: Simulations for visualisation of complex processes and principles in chemical engineering and in physics
    (2009-02-28) Hodgkinson-Williams, Cheryl
    This paper describes two case studies where open source software (OSS) has been used to create simulations to assist students in visualising complex processes in university courses. The first case reviews the use of Python to help students visualise the motion of particles or molecules in physical processes used in chemical engineering. The second case reviews the use of VPython to allow students to create their own simulations of abstract concepts in physics.
