investigates students’ math reasoning. She designs tasks to help students to expand their math reasoning, and she studies how instructors and departments transform practices to grow students’ math reasoning.Prof. David C. Mays, University of Colorado Denver David Mays is an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Colorado Denver. He earned his B.S. from the University of Pennsylvania in 1995, then taught high school through Teach for America and worked as a contractor at Los Alamos National Laboratory before earning his M.S. and Ph.D. from the University of California Berkeley in 1999 and 2005, respectively. He has been at CU Denver since 2005, where he teaches fluid mechanics and

and Fall 2023 semesters.In Spring 2022, experiential learning modules were introduced to both Statics and Dynamics labsto provide hands-on experiments to aid students’ comprehension of select problems. Theimplementation builds upon previous work of using adaptive 3D coordinate models to facilitatehands-on experiential problem-solving in group laboratory sessions. In the first phase of theproject, the authors sought to develop and construct the physical units to use in the modules andto identify the topics in the courses the modules should cover. In the second phase of the project,the authors have worked with other faculty teaching the courses to implement the experientiallearning modules. These experiential learning modules have continued in

B.S. and M.S. degrees in Engineering 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

the number of different engineering majors which requireEngineering Statics (hereafter referred to simply as ‘statics’), the three-credit course is taughtduring both standard academic semesters during the year – fall and spring – and has annualenrollments typically exceeding 1200 students. The course is generally taken by engineeringstudents in their third or fourth semester, dependent on their first-semester math courseplacement, and has the following enrollment requirements: 1) completion of Introduction toClassical Physics I (‘Physics I’, 5 combined credits of lecture and laboratory), and 2) completionor concurrent enrollment in Calculus II (4 credits). Statics has been taught for the past severalyears by the same instructional team with a
