The Use of Computer-Based Team Assignments As an Effective Tool in Teaching MechanicsAbstractThe authors explore and discuss how computer-based assignments (CBAs) are used to promoteboth a better understanding of engineering mechanics through application of concepts and thedevelopment of teamwork and technical writing skills in engineering students at their institution.CBAs start as early as in Statics, the first course in mechanics, and are continued throughMechanics of Materials, a junior-level course. In addition to applying the subject matter from thecourse through the use of computers to solve relevant, practical, usually open-ended problems,the students learn to work in teams, albeit sometimes with groans and pains

, fluid mechanics, homework problems, content analysis,textbooks, writing promptsIntroductionAs assessments of learning outcomes are increasingly emphasized through accreditationrequirements (e.g., via ABET) and other quality assurance initiatives, written communication isone area that engineering instructors often find challenging to incorporate and assess.1 This isparticularly true in large core courses at the sophomore and junior levels. Yet it has also beenfound that technical writing is best taught during the learning of technical material.2This study is part of a larger ongoing project to understand and expand the incorporation ofwriting in large-lecture engineering courses, including investigation of faculty perspectives andtextbook

For example, we caution against: ● Presenters who lack respect for high school educators or diversity issues, or who cannot convey ideas in a clear and engaging manner. ● Repetition of the same information in more than one session. ● CS1 content that does not primarily focus on how to more effectively teach diverse students. ● Sessions devoted to activities outside mainstream curriculum and pedagogy, e.g., camps or after school programs.This list, as all of our training material, is informed by personal experience running workshops aswell as the findings of
