In this paper we will discuss some exam- ples of “activities” we have created for Interactive Dynamics. These activities address not only those attributes that ABET, industry, and NSF would like to see in an engineer, but also embody the intellectual aspects of mechanics and dynamics beyond those essential skills needed to succeed in the engineering workplace.1 IntroductionUndergraduate dynamics is a required course in many undergraduate curricula such as mechani-cal, civil, industrial, and aerospace engineering.

But about conventional success as how much you can take from an experience, how much you can learn in a class. Like, there’s one class I recently took, and I made a C in the class, but honestly I learned so much in that class I learn much more than any other class [I made an A in].

Separation of disciplines essentiallydisappears in much of modern industry.1Some of the advantages of project teams include: • Teams provide the most efficient use of workers’ skills. • Employees are able to pool knowledge and ideas to arrive at better and more creative problem solutions.2 • Teamwork based on coordinated tasks and peer leadership permits removal of layers of hierarchy.3 • Teams benefit from the combination of people with diverse
