The use of software as a teaching aid is rapidly gaining popularity. This paper describes some of the software available that helps in teaching dynamics to students of engineering technology. The instructional emphasis in engineering technology is application based. Problems and assignments are given that helps to illustrate the theory from a practical perspective and the stress on theory itself is less. Modern educational tools like simulation and multimedia help the instructor to exemplify theory through industrial examples that are sometimes difficult to describe in textbooks and easier to comprehend through visualization. This technique is also well recieved by students who gain more insight to the theory and feel less burdened in overcoming the associated mathematical difficulties.
