Engineering analysis concepts can be challenging to comprehend and complex to integrate into design, particularly when potential design variables are conditional on each other and students are still learning professional design tools. Parametric tools, however, can allow students to explore a complex model with ease and learn how engineering design variables can affect a final solution. Using parametric tools in teaching engages student learning beyond lectures without the constraints of lab limitations, which can be helpful at many scales.
