For this FBD, the center of mass cannotbe directly above the stream of water, so students learn that a moment reaction is needed tosupport the kettle in its floating positon. Finally, students model a pair of scissors to practicedrawing systems of FBDs with equal and opposite forces, Figure 5 (Right).Figure 5: (Left) Forks and coins balancing on a glass.

Innovative Intervention to Infuse Diversity and Inclusion in a Statics CourseAbstractEngineering educators strive to prepare their students for success in the engineering workforce.Increasingly, many career paths will require engineering graduates to work in multidisciplinaryteams with individuals possessing a diversity of skill sets, backgrounds, and identities. Therefore,it is important not only for future engineers to have the opportunity to work in teams as students,but also to have specific instruction that teaches them about teamwork skills and the valuediversity and inclusion bring to engineering practice. Furthermore, it is important that thisinstruction occurs throughout their engineering coursework, giving
