longer enough to ensure success of the majority ofstudents in the educational environment today. Professors must evaluate techniques and methodsthat can assist in meeting the multiple learning styles of the students in their classes. For thestudent, transformation includes reflection, practice, and creating personal relevancy andmeaning in the learning process. This is the framework of this pilot study on an onlineEngineering Statics class.Literature ReviewOnline courses were created and deployed in numerous fields throughout the 1990s and 2000s.Online engineering courses lagged behind because of the difficulty of converting face-to-facemathematics and science courses to an online format.1 The technology was not advanced enoughto deploy these

web2.0 interactive technologies to create linked physical and virtuallearning environments that not only appeal to students, but markedly improve their technicalcompetency in foundational engineering technical areas.Given this framework, the present work specifically seeks to describe the Purdue MechanicsFreeform Classroom, its constituent components, and, where pertinent, their development andevolution. Complementing this is a discussion of preliminary assessment, both formal andanecdotal in nature, the results of which not only highlight the group-level efficacy of theapproach (as captured through student failure and withdrawal metrics), but also the high levels ofstudent engagement and satisfaction that it yields. In addition, and in light of

focused cohorts. Engineering professors often have differentgoals/expectations, experiences with technology, and teaching constraints than those in otherdisciplines. Faculty may desire specific, concrete examples of how to apply different research-based practices in the courses they teach, rather than becoming an engineering educationresearcher themselves. At many universities, there may only be a handful of professors whoteach the same course, which makes forming a CoP problematic. To solve this problem, we havedeveloped Virtual Community of Practice (VCP), where participation is web-based. Page 24.1020.3Virtual Communities of PracticeA VCP offers
