Engineering Education, 2014 A Qualitative Pilot Study of an Online Accelerated Statics Course with Intensive Video DeliveryAlthough online learning is extremely popular with 67 million of students taking online classes,it has not been widely used for extremely technical courses such as those in the field ofengineering.1 In order for optimal learning and transformation to occur, both the student and theprofessor must learn to evaluate the learning process differently. For the professor, this meansexamining what has traditionally been done in the past and what can be done in the future toenhance learning for all students. The traditional behaviorist model, which focuses on grades asa reward and punishment system, is no

started with a textbook sprint forfirst-year mechanics. And Site 2 was working on online problems as part of a larger revamp ofthe first-year engineering curriculum. The sites were connected by an initial request byBCcampus, an agency of the British Columbia government that acts as an umbrella body forpost-secondary institutions. The organization had identified a lack of OER options for first-yearengineering mechanics and wanted to generate collaboration to eventually put together atextbook. The faculty members at each site were contacted through a network of OER-focusedgroups and individuals, both outside of and within engineering.All first-year engineering students at each of our institutions study statics and particle dynamics,and students in

Innovative Intervention to Infuse Diversity and Inclusion in a Statics CourseAbstractEngineering educators strive to prepare their students for success in the engineering workforce.Increasingly, many career paths will require engineering graduates to work in multidisciplinaryteams with individuals possessing a diversity of skill sets, backgrounds, and identities. Therefore,it is important not only for future engineers to have the opportunity to work in teams as students,but also to have specific instruction that teaches them about teamwork skills and the valuediversity and inclusion bring to engineering practice. Furthermore, it is important that thisinstruction occurs throughout their engineering coursework, giving
