combined course and a design course (Engineering Design 2). Statics &Dynamics introduces applied mechanics from an engineering standpoint and is the first of fiverequired "engineering science" courses in the curriculum. The statics and dynamics course hasthree class meetings each week and one lab meeting each week. Course labs have been designedto pair with course classroom content and involve activities such as learning to take forcemeasurements with load cells. Engineering Design 2 is the second design course in a two coursesequence (Engineering Design 1 and Engineering Design 2) and introduces students to process-based design in preparation for their capstone sequence.6-10 For the past five years and for theforeseeable future, Engineering
