"SimInsights software engages students in a different way than lecturing and textbooks can, and it triggers students' imagination and creativity in analyzing engineering systems. Students respond to SimInsights problems with enthusiasm. They appreciate the more dynamic interaction as a supplement to traditional textbook problem solving."
"Siminsights is a product that has the potential to transform the education landscape. I fully believe that this product could help unearth and develop a generation of young innovators. I am excited to see the reach of this company extended to all levels of education."
"It's refreshing to see physical demonstrations of concepts that are usually studied from a mathematical standpoint. SimMotion promotes understanding in a fun, interactive, and different way."
"SimMotion opens the door to two essential parts of the scientific method not frequently used in physics: experimentation and observation."
"...we really liked it because we were able to view the effects that different settings did to the objects and it really did help us understand the concepts."
"I like how by using SimMotion it was easy to simulate specific situations... sometimes acts weird though..."
"We like the variety of collisions we can create... We want to be able to label our models with words."
"...enjoyable... it had an interface that was easy to work with. However, there were certain glitches where air drag would happen even when set to 0. Nevertheless it is an impressive program."
"I like how you can add a lot of possibilities to the objects in the program and learn from the change..."
"...it was simple and fun to play with, which helped us learn..."
"I like that I can just play around and make as many particles as I want and make them do whatever I want."
"SimMotion is fun to watch and play around with, and we think it's helpful that you can change the settings as the program is running."
"What my group and I liked about SimMotion was its easy-to-use ability. It is simple and efficient..."
"It's fun, creative, and easy to use and understand..."
"Even though the game was hard, it helped me to understand the concept better. We should have more games like this to help us understand better."
"I actually like the idea of learning the lessons through game process because it is fun and I think that I learn better since I'm more interested. I had some difficulties but it was not that big deal - that was interesting idea to have us play to understand the concept."
"Great way to learn and have fun doing it!"
"I think that we should have games like this for every chapter just to keep the subject interesting and fun."
"I wish we had more games based on our chapters."
"The website was a good [resource] that made me to understand concepts better"
"It was an interesting game. It as hard at first because I became confused about frequency but I eventually understood."
"We need homework tasks that will boost our confidence. Something like this one."
"The game helped me understand better... I would like more games like that in order to help me to understand."
"The game was interesting and helpful to better understand the subject."
"It was fun to play and understand the materials. At first it was kind of boring but while I got into it, it was really cool."
"It was fun since I don't play any computer games. I felt like I became a kid again."
"It was pretty fun and also childish at the same time, but it helped me to understand material better."
"First, I thought it was not going to be helpful but it actually helps a lot."
