unwillingness to answer the question.Some students expressed frustration about the fact that even if they have already applied whatthey perceive are effective learning strategies, their performance in the class was stillunsatisfactory (“I don't know… I put more effort into learning this material than all of myclasses combined, and then some more. To say that I was disappointed in the results is anunderstatement.”) There are a select few, however, who chose to provide ambiguous responses(“Nothing”; “N/A”; “not applicable”) or expressed unwillingness to comment on their learningprocess as part of the survey (This is a bad question please stop asking it.

thenames of every component [they] used.”Figure 8 suggests that students were able to grasp the core mechanics of arch stability afterconducting the activity. Students claimed that understanding how a hanging chain’s shape isdetermined from equilibrium helped solidify their understanding of how an arch is able to stand,and that a catenary is the optimal shape for an arch. Students also commented on theirunderstanding that the “[s]urface area of the blocks affects stability” and that “friction plays acrucial role in keeping the blocks together”.The Tanks and Culverts activity displayed positive results for understanding how granular mediabehaves in pipe structures. Most students seemed to grasp how gravity, in conjunction withfriction, produces the

One request was received from the entire class. Students arealways given the option to suggest students with whom they would rather not work based on pastrelationships.

this test were surprisingly accurate, considering the simplicity of the setup.Deflection values agreed with the calculated values to within 1 or 2 mm. It should be noted thatthe students did not find this exercise to be completely straight-forward. Because of the nodenumbering scheme, several made mistakes in assembling the system stiffness matrix or applyingthe boundary conditions. However, these errors provided an opportunity for teaching theimportance of checking the reasonableness of the solution. One common error involved placingthe terms of spring 4’s stiffness matrix in the wrong locations in the system matrix (as if spring 4connected nodes 3 and 4 rather than nodes 4 and 5). In this case, the calculated displacement fornode 5 was zero

: “Threshold concepts, once learned, are likely to bring together different aspects of the subject that previously did not appear, to the student, to be related3.” This is probably the most obvious connection this work due to the inherent need to apply fundamental principles of mathematics and science when solving complex engineering problems. For example, a statics problem may involve trigonometry, vector algebra, and Newton‟s second law of motion.  Transformative: Threshold concepts are “akin to a portal, opening up a new and previously inaccessible way of thinking about something . . . it represents a transformed way of understanding, or interpreting, or viewing . . . without which the learner cannot

’ self-assessments. As such, students’ self-assessments should not be used in program or course assessment, at least in Statics, as anythingother than a supplement to direct assessment measures. It is possible that students’ self-assessments do reflect something of value and interest, such as confidence, that could be usefulin the improvement of instruction and course material, but they do not show a strong orconsistent correlation with performance on actual problems in Statics.Bibliography1.

2005, the number of awarded engineering degrees that includedonline components had not significantly increased. They noted a distinct misconception thatonline education in engineering has to be self-paced without clear instructor guidance and littlecollaboration. With the technology available today, that is not the case. The authors also notedno significant differences have been found between online and on-campus students from 1992-2002 as reported by Moore in 2002 in the Journal of Asynchronous Learning Networks. Bourneet al.’s key point is the pedagogy must be examined and evaluated. If this is done properly, thenonline engineering education is possible because the addition of synchronous time in a coursepermits nearly the same level of
