His research interests includ ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2023 Teaching the concept of tipping in statics:Pedagogy, potential activities, and practical examplesAbstractThe concept of tipping and stability are closely related and have several practical implicationsand applications. For example, tipping is the reason behind several accidents and recalls and theresulting injuries and deaths. For instance, 200+ fatalities were caused by furniture tippingbetween January 2000 and April 2022. Improper loading can also cause the tipping of airplanes,cranes, and other products, resulting in significant financial

abilities within the mechanical engineering student population.Introduction Mechanical oscillators, such as the second-order translational “mbk” system have been aclassic topic in undergraduate mechanical engineering (ME) education for many years. Typically,students are first exposed to them in their introductory ordinary differential equations (ODEs)course and in either a “rigid body dynamics” [1] and/or a “system dynamics” [2] course, all ofwhich are required courses, vs. an elective course, such as Vibrations. Coverage in a lecture settingis common and in some cases simulation software is used, such as MATLAB/Simulink [3]. Thatsaid, based on the first author’s experience teaching at multiple institutions and from examiningthe academic
