Each group of students has todesign a configuration using (all or part of) the available structural components and check thepracticality of their design in the laboratory, Figure 4. To facilitate the design process, a set ofmagnetic bars together with steel balls are available for making small scale models. Also, thefull-scale structural components are available to the students for assembling the structure, orparts of it, in the lab.

Two dominating factorsthat affect the student population within the department are the issues of recruitment andretention. This paper addresses some analysis done on the factors affecting the enrollment andrecruitment. Retention factors such as class attendance, supplemental teaching tools, earlyexposure of the potential students to Mechanical engineering topics, advising, and studentparticipation in student competitions and summer internship programs are examined.

There were clear responses thatcooperative education, internships, laboratories, and project work are very high priorities. This isa clear message that ‘hands-on’ education is a very high priority.

This is one of the first engineeringcourses that students take during their college careers, so it is important to engage the students inlearning about their discipline. However this engagement must be done in a way that permitsmultiple instructors and multiple sections to be taught to offer uniformity in computingexperiences. One way to engage the student is using in-class assignments and exercises.

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
