However, currenttechnology has not been incorporated in the teaching of the material. Specifically, there is achapter in most texts that addresses basic finite element analysis (FEA) theory. However, FEA isnot used to teach the concepts of machine design. Conversely, the content of machine design isnot used to enhance

specifically, differ from truly fundamental subjects.Mechanics is closer to engineering applications, unlike subjects such as mathematics, physics,chemistry, biology, astronomy and geography. It is distinct from the purely technological areasbecause of its strict system of logic. Due to this, and partly because of the large number ofconcepts and formulas that the students need to learn, MOS has been regarded as one of the mostdifficult undergraduate courses at Rutgers University. This can be validated by a two-tail t-testwith an α=.05 comparing the average D,W,F percentage spanning ten semesters for MOS at30.1% which was determined to be statistically significantly higher than any other courseofferings from the department with the next closest average
