AC 2009-515: ESTABLISHING REAL ENGAGEMENT IN LARGE MECHANICSLECTURESBenson Tongue, University of California, Berkeley Page 14.584.1© American Society for Engineering Education, 2009 Establishing Real Engagement in Large Mechanics LecturesAbstractTeaching a large mechanics class poses some obvious challenges if the professor is interestedin more than simply speaking in front of a class and hoping that some knowledgetransmission takes place. Indeed, this aspect of traditional lecturing, one person declaimingat hopefully engaged but oftentimes bored students, is what has engendered much of thecriticism heard from students and education researchers and has driven the creation
