and achievement are defined as follows. By achievement wemean learning the body of knowledge and skills associated with introductory solid mechanics(including statics). Self-efficacy refers to the state of mind that allows a student to move aheadthrough the inevitable obstacles and failures that are part of the learning of a difficult body ofknowledge and skill 2,3,6. The required course in mechanics is often the student’s first encounterwith genuine engineering concepts and problems. Unlike physics, the problems are “real world,”complex situations where the first task is often clearing away irrelevant clutter to see anidealization of the structure to be analyzed. Within a short period of time, engineering studentsare expected to make

With this opportunity in mind, theCollege of Engineering Dean’s Office and the four department Chairpersons formed a committeeto develop a summer training program that prepares the Teaching Fellows for the classroomexperience. The program has four stages: 1) Orientation, 2) Instruction, 3) ClassroomImmersion, and 4) Individual Practice. In this paper each stage is described in detail. Thisintensive training program with its novel use of classroom experience in summer programs hasprovided the Teaching Fellows the opportunity to gain the confidence and skills to succeed intheir Fellowship requirements.

Types of green energy that often come to mind are solar, wind, geothermaland hydro energy. In fact, it is a significant area for the investment, and the ability to developtechnology that harnesses energy from wind, solar, water and other renewable resources definesfuture generations of technology. The engineers and scientist who are solving these challengestoday are using many advanced technologies to develop and deliver tomorrow’s solutions for asustainable environment.

Out of these,resource based approach is identified as the one close to engineering students. Engineeringstudents need to realize that they can easily identify the opportunities if they keep their minds inthe ‘Polling Condition’ (refers to basically anything that periodically checks (polls) for data or acondition).

It offers us another window in topics like stress and strain, and does so in a way that is interesting and very realistic.□ Any chance to relate real life engineering practices to what is being studied in the class is beneficial to everyone. In this case, helicopters fit the bill quite well.□ The theme approach is effective and should definitely be part of the class curriculum.□ Studying helicopters in our course in order to teach us about the different mechanical ele- ments is a great idea.
