In regards to their majors, roughly half of the students were frommechanical engineering background (45%). Material science and engineering was the secondmost comprised major; with the remaining majors coming in close percentages with each other,including: aerospace engineering, chemical engineering, ceramic engineering, industrialengineering, and biomedical engineering. While the students come from many different areas of the country, a fair number ofMissouri S&T students also participated in the REU program. Seven of those Missouri S&Tundergraduate students were

Initiated in 1994, this course is a three-credit, one-semester coursethat now serves approximately 350 students per year. The course is required by the mechanical,aerospace, and environmental engineering majors and is an elective for the rest of the college’sdepartments. In contrast to large, impersonal math and science courses, each FYEP section islimited to 30 students. Instruction and enrollment are interdisciplinary; sections are staffed withinstructors from a variety of engineering departments.

IntroductionMost engineering professors understand that a design paradigm shift has occurred in recent yearswherein product performance issues are overshadowed by manufacturing and cost issues.Practical matters are paramount. As might be expected, the various engineering disciplines havebeen impacted to varying degrees. In the systems and controls area, the design paradigm shiftemphasizes the need for students to understand the practical issues (such as modeling andimplementation) associated with control system design. In the past, these practical issues havebeen the forte of mechanical, chemical, and aerospace engineering

The CIMSfor Statics consist of five separate modules with each focusing on a particular set of topics taughtin the course. The titles of the five modules are as follows: Concurrent Force Systems; Non-Concurrent Force Systems; Trusses, Frames and Machines; Friction; and Geometric Propertiesof Shapes.
