ourproposition that statics is a very important course in the “engineering design of anengineer.” Thus it is important that further study be undertaken on this topic. Furtherstudy is required to identify the most successful teaching strategies for increasingstudents’ knowledge about and enthusiasm for engineering as a career, and the mostsuccessful strategies for ensuring future success as an engineer. 1 Burke, R., and M.

Steif and Dollár 18 have had teams of students usephysical demonstrations to investigate statics (see example in Figure 2) but did not follow all ofthe guidelines set forth in Table 2. The work of Prince and Vigeant has shown great promise inthe fields of heat transfer and thermodynamics, as can be seen in Figure 3. Our goal is to achievesimilar gains in the field of dynamics.
