Abstrakt: The purpose of this study is to investigate the potential benefits of using computer tools in engineering education. Animations, visual cueing, and their combination in a multimedia environment are designed to support learners' acquisition and retention of scientific concepts and processes. The software used in the development of the animations is Macromedia Flash, a tool that allows very small vectorial graphics files to be created, thus facilitating their electronic transmission to any user connected to the network. The research was conducted on 75 students of the first year at the Faculty of Civil Construction Management of the Union "Nikola Tesla" University, Belgrade, Serbia. The course was followed by a 3-year study to assess the acceptance of the computer tools and multimedia animations for learning mathematics. This research clearly showed that students were highly interested in this way of teaching and learning. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
