Many of these tools are engaging andinteractive, but most of them have one thing in common: they were created for students byteachers. Meanwhile, of their own accord, students create study aids in preparation for majorgraded events. These tools vary in style, method, complexity, and completeness. This paperexamines possible educational benefits of leveraging such student-generated course reviewmaterial as a supplement to traditional, teacher generated review materials across variousincoming student GPA's and learning styles.In the first two mechanics courses

Students often express fear at the course difficulty and a feeling of “wanting to get itover with.” The challenge then for faculty is to motivate the students’ desire to understand thematerial and to help the students understand the importance of the material not only to theirsubsequent coursework but also in becoming “Fluid Mechanics Literate” in a world aboundingwith scientific challenges related to basic fluid mechanics. To this end, Lifelong Learning isincorporated in the current Engineering Fluid Mechanics course objectives. This is in keepingwith one of the ABET outcomes for our students: recognition of the need for, and an ability toengage in Lifelong Learning.Two lifelong learning projects were assigned which

One group wrote that the App was a good method of relating the presented material to real-world experiences and expanding on the material. Another pair of students commented thatinvestigating the scientific principles of an everyday device was enlightening and fun. No groupwrote negatively about the experience.

This sequence involves teaching an introductory engineering course,CE300, to both engineering majors and non-majors, followed by CE364, a mechanics + materialscience course that is taken by those students majoring in Civil or Mechanical Engineering. Thesequence integrates statics, mechanics of materials and a lesson block on material science;information that is traditionally separated across two or more courses, making it difficult forstudents to form the key connections between statics, mechanics and materials that are the bread-and-butter of the working engineer. Through tight coordination of these two courses, significantadvances have been made in student attitudes, capabilities and, perhaps most importantly

The Statics’ UTAs attended each class meeting, and duringthe final 30 minutes, they worked with groups of students on graded assignments. The studentsgenerally self-selected into small study groups and interacted with the same UTAs throughoutthe semester. In this manner, the students built relationships with the UTAs and the studentsreceived immediate feedback regarding current topic materials.1.
