retrieving relevant information from memory—a technique known asretrieval practice. Retrieval practice increases long-term retention of information to a greaterextent than does restudy (e.g., [7]). Effects of retrieval practice have been extensively studied inthe laboratory, typically using verbal materials. For example, Karpicke and Roediger [8] hadparticipants learn Swahili-English word pairs (e.g., mashua-boat). After participants reached thecriterion of being able to produce the correct English translation a single time, they eitherrepeatedly restudied the word pair, repeatedly retrieved the English translation, or did notencounter the word pair again. In the latter condition, when items were neither retrieved norrestudied following initial

Engineering DynamicsIntroductionEngineering dynamics (Newtonian mechanics) is often a difficult subject for students to grasp,particularly when taught in traditional lecture-only settings. In lecture-only settings, studentsoften exercise concepts solely through idealized textbook problems which provide little to noopportunity for understanding or exploring in realistic contexts [1]. This is understandable giventhe considerable expense and resources needed to create companion laboratories where studentsmight otherwise explore concepts through hands-on experimentation. Despite these difficulties, ithas been shown across STEM fields that demonstrations and experiments can dramaticallyimprove student learning compared to traditional teaching methods [2

They learned the basic formulation of fluid mechanics equations, which lead toapplication of continuity and Bernoulli’s equations. Students had an opportunity to verify theseequations through hands-on projects and direct measurements in the thermo-fluid laboratory. Also,students were introduced to basic force analysis on aerodynamic vehicles, with an emphasis on liftgeneration airfoils, and they were also given an opportunity to use simulation tools to betterunderstand flow properties and their effect on the aerodynamic loads.Throughout this module, students were introduced to both theoretical and experimental topicsrelated to Bernoulli’s and continuity

The civil engineeringtechnician also assisted the students in testing. For each of the materials, the objectives was thefollowing:1) Determine whether the material is linear viscoelastic?2) Determine if time-temperature superposition is applicable?3) Develop a rheological model, and4) Explain impact of the above results in practical applications.The scope and depth of testing was discussed with
