American Society for Engineering Education, 2013 Comprehensive approach to teaching dynamics of planar mechanisms based on modern learning theoriesAbstractIt is well known that students have different learning styles and for teaching to be effective anon-traditional approaches that can address the different styles should be attempted. Also,according to Kolb, learning is most effective if done in a cycle involving experiencing,reflection, thinking and planning. In this paper, we present an attempt at a comprehensiveapproach to teaching the course Theory of Machines, a standard course in the majority ofmechanical engineering curricula. At the beginning of the semester, students are asked toconceptualize and realize a

We focused onsmaller types of changes that could still be beneficial in increasing students’ engagementin the class so as to provide an easier transition into more interactive teaching. Finally,the groups focused on being encouraging to individuals’ needs and concerns about theirteaching. The small group format made this responsiveness easier and regular meetingsprovided an open forum for discussing changes to teaching practice.ConclusionsThe results first provide a model for helping instructors share their formative assessmentteaching practices with colleagues, furthering adoption of research

DirectionThis study abroad program was offered for the first time in May of 2012. Although elevenstudents is fairly average for an upper-level materials engineering elective course at UAB, theprogram is necessarily limited in size. This is a perennial problem for global competencyinitiatives: any program involving study abroad reaches only those students who are (1) alreadywilling and able to travel and (2) able to afford the program. The current plan for implementinga version of this program more widely into the curriculum is to modify the academic portion ofthe course (The Evolution of Engineering Materials) into a standard semester-long course thatwould meet the requirements for a university-approved history course tailored to engineeringstudents
