Mechanics from Virginia Tech, and his Ph.D. in Bioengineering from the University of Utah. He worked in the Air Force Research Laboratories before teaching at the U.S. Air Force Academy for seven years. Brian has taught in the Mechanical Engineering Department at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo since 2006. During the 2011-2012 academic year he participated in a professor exchange, teaching at the Munich University of Applied Sciences. His engineering education interests include collaborating on the Dynamics Concept Inventory, developing model-eliciting activities in mechanical engineering courses, inquiry-based learning in mechanics, and design projects to help promote adapted physical activities. Other professional interests

would not feel that the course content was going beyond what was appropriate for a 3 credit-hour course. 5. Recognizing that some students simply do not need to avail of problem-solving sessions or instructor assistance. 6. Motivating students to watch the videos, in an institutional culture where pre-lecture assigned readings (or assigned videos) are unusual.Choice of CourseMechanical Vibrations is a compulsory fourth year course taken by approximately 80Mechanical and 30 Ocean and Naval Architectural Engineering students in their sixth of eightacademic terms in a co-op program. Lecture slots were 9:00-10:15 Tuesdays and Thursdays,with no extra tutorial period. A laboratory slot was scheduled from 2:00-5:00 Tuesdays

engineering courses could provide an authentic laboratory experience that helpsimprove students’ conceptual understanding of engineering mechanics concepts. Moreover,physical manipulatives are easy to implement, easy to duplicate and distribute,13 and can beextended to include different engineering subjects.Other studies have investigated the use of physical manipulatives in a variety of STEM areas. Theuse of hands-on (physical) manipulatives has helped engineering students in modeling andengineering problem solving.7 For instance, Coller indicated that the manipulatives helpedstudents increase their understanding of engineering concepts when they used manipulatives andwere able to see and feel reactions created by the manipulative.7 Another study

service, student government, andintramurals, for example. There are more than 140 student organizations and clubs that includethe following categories: sports (3), departmental (42), diversity/cultural (12), honorary (15),religious (9), social Greek (3), and special interest (24). It is believed that participation in suchactivities allows students to feel part of the campus community [14]. Nevertheless, at ourinstitution, most students cannot avail themselves of opportunities to participate inextracurricular activities.A different approach to getting students involvedGroup work in lecture courses can be used as a means of getting students to interact with eachother. Group work is common in laboratory courses, where, generally, data collection is
