the overarching fieldof continuum mechanics. The continuum approach permits students to synthesize and analyze knowledge, and our use ofcase studies integrates cultural, political, and ethical issues into a sociotechnical understanding ofengineering mechanics. We describe the development and implementation of this approach atone institution, and how we resolved the challenges involved in transferring the approach to asecond institution. We discuss several refinements to our methodology that resulted frombroadening our audience. Assessment results from over 10 years, at two institutions, areevaluated and interpreted. IntroductionIn traditional engineering curricula, the subjects of solid and fluid mechanics are taughtseparately, in
