Findings are presented along with recommendations for how toimprove the hybrid course structure.IntroductionStatics is a fundamental course for civil, structural, mechanical, and aerospace engineeringstudents. Since the course is a prerequisite for a large number of a university’s engineeringstudents, it is important to aim for a course structure that both permits the maximization oflearning gains and is enjoyable to a majority of students enrolled in the course. Various teachingpedagogies have been investigated over the past two decades with the aim of increasing

It is often required for studentsin other engineering degree programs such as biomedical, civil, and aerospace engineering.We wanted to design ELMs for engineering statics that improves students' knowledge andunderstanding of difficult concepts. We first describe the environment and how the ELM isassigned. The ELMs are targeted for

Instead, most engineeringoutreach programs focus either on the engineering design process, or on mechanical, civil,electrical, or aerospace engineering. Therefore, for IE to live up to its potential as a discipline, agreater number of IE-oriented outreach activities are needed for the K-12 community.Adopting an appropriate structure for IE outreach activities is important. These activities shouldhighlight the impact of IE discipline on the society and business and clearly distinguish it fromother engineering disciplines. The activities should be designed to develop a
