on sophomore-level foundational courses emanates from a set ofobservations about student learning and a gnawing sense of frustration shared by many facultymembers across many different institutions that we are failing to make the most of anextraordinarily important time in a student’s development. We are failing to bring enoughstudents to full fluency with the concepts that underpin many of the technical ideas thatengineers use to solve problems. Furthermore, there is a growing concern that the pedagogyneither embraces current technology—both in teaching and in professional application—nor doesit adequately embrace what is now known about how people learn [7] – [9].The foundational mechanics courses are generally taken by engineering
