However, where Statics is finallyrelevant to engineering practice in the analysis and design of mechanical systems, instruction hasbeen notably unsuccessful. Students cannot go beyond textbook problems to apply Statics topractical situations, and they

Various in-class exercises were used to develop an understanding of the team dynamics and the “language” of other disciplines. Specific approaches used were peer teaching, listening and interpretation exercises, peer teaching of research methods in the laboratory, and the use of the jigsaw method7 for team problem solving.

Previous research has shown that participation in SI correlates with higher course grades,more confidence in course material, greater material retention, higher overall GPA, and greaterstudent retention and graduation rates.
