Abstract
The use of multibody dynamics software in industrial firms is steadily increasing. Engineering curricula often do not include mandatory courses where multibody dynamics is taught. This paper, after a discussion on some teaching needs in this specific cultural area, reports on the experiences matured by the authors when introducing these courses at two Italian universities.
