, we find it to be an oversimplification of how forcesinteract with the object (surface vs. body forces) and believe that this method of introducingstudents to the FBD (which is primarily done in Physics) could lead to more misconceptionsinstead of being a stepping stone to understanding rigid-body equilibrium. An example of thispoor habit is demonstrated for a two-block setup connected by an inextensible cable (modifiedSample Problem 5.03 from Halliday and Resnick [20]). Example: Determine the largest mass m where block A would remain stationary if M  10 kg, s  0.20 and k  0.15 . Figure 3.

individuals’qualities that add to a team’s assets in a social interaction, may be crucial at the initial stage ofteam creativity in determining the richness and quality of ideas available to the team.Teamology approachThe Teamology approach is used to help us form effective teams. Rather than take a subjectiveapproach to forming teams, Teamology uses a student’s personality type scores to classify theirdominant cognitive mode(s), or dominant way of thinking. The personality type scores are drawnfrom a Myers-Briggs-like test that assesses the four areas below:• How outwardly or inwardly focused a student is - Extraverted versus Introverted. 
• How a student takes in information – Sensing versus Intuition. 
• How a student makes decisions – Thinking versus

SBL is focusing on student’s knowledge, skills and self-awareness capabilitiesthrough its methodology. It is not a substitute for engineer´s disciplinary knowledge. It ispart of “software” that runs the engineering skills through making the student morecapable in creating and sharing her passion, vision and thoughts in a group of people.Though not listed directly in the ABET criteria1, 16 document we believe that thesequalities are part of the key skill set in creating sustainable engineering, coming up withnew ventures, commitment to life long learning, and simply fostering ethical andcommitted individuals to the

will be compared between the cohorts. Persistence inengineering is defined as either graduating from a major in the School of Engineering or beingcurrently enrolled in a major that is within the School.Analysis and ResultsIn order to statistically analyze the cohorts, persistence in engineering was given a value of 1while not persisting was given a value of 0. Students who did not persist in engineering eitherchanged their major or dropped out of SIUE entirely. Each cohort then has an array of 1’s and 0’srepresenting student persistence in engineering, which forms a Bernoulli distribution. Bernoullianalysis is based on the fraction of each group receiving a value of 1 and the fraction receiving avalue of 0.For each cohort, the fraction of

The in-person meeting is devotedto answering questions (that students may have based on their viewing of the corresponding videolecture(s)), joint problem solving activities, as well as other active learning tasks that provide in-dividual and group practice. The expectation is that, given the ability of active learning tasks toengage students in learning, the approach will help students better achieve the intended learningoutcomes of the course; and, as an added bonus, students’ abilities with respect to such importantprofessional skills as team work and
