defined in Braxton et al.’s revision of Tinto’s Theory of InstitutionalDeparture [14]. This sample shows that the majority of the students who are takingengineering design graphics courses have already spent at least two semesters at theinstitution, as the majority of enrolled students in this study are sophomores or higher. InSTEM fields, where communication via graphics is heavily dependent, students need asearly experiences as possible to develop spatial visualization skills that contribute toacademic success [29]. Such a program setup supports an institutional commitment tostudent success. Spatial visualization skill development through engineering design graphicsapplies to fields outside of engineering and other STEM disciplines [29

Of course, the skills students develop to excel at academic baseballwill also serve them well on most exams.A rigorous assessment of the value of academic baseball has not been accomplished yet.But as evidence of game’s popularity, attendance in a Mechanics of Materials course atOU in the summer of 2004 was roughly 80% on the days of a routine lecture, but nearly100% on game days, though no credit was given to students for attendance in class or awin in the game.Bibliographic Information1 Fink, L.

The paper will first discuss Theory, Analysis, Verification and Design, to emphasize thefocus of our approach to teaching mechanics of materials and to indicate how it differs from pastand current textbooks. The paper then considers three simple mechanics of materials examples,one of which considers design, to demonstrate our approach.Theory The theory and topic coverage is typical of a traditional one semester introductorymechanics of materials course.
