Each selected SHRP 2 product has become an inherent part of the course module.These were taught immediately after the relevant theoretical content was presented in the course.Furthermore, the authors re-emphasized these concepts using SHRP 2 as a tool for a seamlesstransition from theory to practice. A pre-survey and post-survey were conducted to determine theimpact of introducing SHRP 2 modules within the courses. The results of the pre-and post-survey are presented. A detailed framework on how to seamlessly integrate SHRP 2 productsthrough the entire civil engineering curriculum in other institutions is also presented.INTRODUCTION

At larger universities, the course enrollment in Statics is typically high; insome cases, surpassing 300 students which places limitations on an instructors’ ability to assignhands-on projects that require space to tinker with physical objects. Several researchers havehowever, reported successful integration of project based assignments, which includes but is notlimited to: analysis, design, and construction of a machine9, truss bridge9,10,11,12,13,14, and afriction climbing machine9.Although most students by their sophomore year have taken a computer course

This will allow consistency between different educators teaching a single course and to leverage a model to its full potential.  To further improve teaching effectiveness of a physical model one should develop formal guided questions or activities that students can complete in teams. This would motivate students to engage with and examine the model more fully, which in turn would likely lead to greater learning gains in the topic areas the particular model is trying to address. It is also an approach to make small, detailed models accessible to all students (see earlier point).  There
