gamephysics are fields still in development. See also [42], which maintains an extremely helpfulcollection of research in PBA and other resources. An introductory book on engineeringmechanics will actually present a rather comprehensive coverage for mathematical and physicstheory. Other faculty have published their game physics courses, which should help the reader tosee how the material is taught to game students [47, 48].Standard game physics references use calculus, linear algebra, and other fundamental theory.Properly tacking fluids and soft-bodies (as PBA calls deformable bodies [2]) then involvescontinuum mechanics, which in turn uses partial differential equations, tensors, and “3-D math,”which is what the game development community tends to

Incorporated into Machine DesignIn the freshman and sophomore years of a mechanical engineering program, the student learnsthe tools of fundamental mechanics and design. In the junior and senior year, the student learnshow to apply these tools to solve complex problems. An example of a complex problem wouldbe the two design projects assigned in machine design. In these projects, several fundamentalmachine elements (components) are needed to form integrated subassemblies, and these areassembled into the final system. Principals of machine design and strength of material areimplored. For the past two decades, machine design has been structured to include typical end-of-chapter homework problems, in-class quizzes, two exams, and two design projects. The

of engagement and focus amongst students. Additionally, students often have a hard timeconnecting the mathematics they learn in the classroom to real-world engineering applications.Conversely, transitioning to a wholly active learning curriculum, or even flipping the classroom,can help demonstrate how the material applies to real-world problems, but these approaches canlead to mixed results in learning outcomes. We attempted to strike a middle ground between thesetwo extremes in a mechanical engineering, junior level vibrations course at Villanova Universityby implementing what we called “no-lecture Fridays.” Each Friday session of class was dedicatedto allowing students to work on an often open-ended, real-world application of the content
