This field is dedicated to analyzing bodies that are either at rest orin a state of equilibrium, where the net forces and moments are balanced. The pedagogicalapproach to teaching statics commonly encompasses both lectures and laboratory sessions,providing a comprehensive learning experience. Typically introduced at the sophomore level orfirst year engineering projects, this course builds upon the foundational knowledge acquired inintroductory engineering courses i.e. CAD. At this stage, most students may not have delved intomechanical design. However, towards the conclusion of the statics course, an

A study conducted by Zaka et al.[2] in flipped class room teaching found thatstudents universally enjoyed learning independently and appreciated the increased collaborationinduced by the flipped approach. The flexibility of the approach enabled a range of independentlearning and collaboration, and students were able to find learning styles that suited them.Several studies [3] [4] [5] indicated that more benefits include the opportunity to cover morematerial over a short period of time and freeing up more time for active learning, collaboration,critical thinking, problem solving, and deeper understanding of the content.
