With the textbook prices going up exponentially every year,incorporating the materials in the Help app also provides an opportunity to make the learningmaterials more affordable for financially challenged students. The contents of the Help app arelinked throughout the various knowledge apps to provide easy access to students when they arestruggling with particular concepts. a) Help App Interface b) Learning Materials – Q, V, M Figure 4. Help AppHerein, the Bending app is used as an example to demonstrate many of the novel qualities of thedeveloped mobile apps. The Bending app investigates support

flexural bucklingstress, Fcr, via a Q-factor which was a function (in part) of the effective area of the cross sectionof slender elements. These equations are shown in Figure 3, the typical lecture slides, as theyshould be. However, especially to the inexperienced student, this is likely just a mess ofmeaningless equations which they will simply follow blindly. Providing even a little context –making a connection between Q and the flexural buckling strength curve – at minimum will givestudents a better feeling for what the equations do. Similarly, the new method overall strategyshown in Figure 4, and it is clear that in concept nothing changed between old and new methods.This, again, instills confidence in the future designer.

teams are highly committed to the projectsthroughout the semester; (iii) mentors are available and responsive to students, have internalsupport and value student work; and (iv) instructors constantly communicate with mentors andstudent teams, facilitate the student-mentor relationship and monitor the design and developmentprogress of each student team. As each project has its unique type, constraints and scope ofdesign or experiments, team office hours or interactive Questions and Answers (Q&A) sessionsthat are periodically scheduled throughout the semester between each team and instructor arevery helpful. Instructors can use these team office hours and Q&A sessions to better controlproject progress, address student needs and resolve
