EngineeringAbstractEngineering students are often given quantitative problems as homework. Problem solvingprovides students opportunities to retrieve knowledge, apply and adjust conceptualunderstanding, and build analytical skills. Because increased motivation has been shown toproduce better learning outcomes [1] - [3], it makes sense to tailor problems to motivate students.Intuitively, adding contextual elements, such as background information, narrative, images, andlocal references, to problems may be one way of motivating students, but investigation in thisarea has been limited [8] - [10]. Therefore, this study surveyed students to gauge theirperceptions of fundamentally identical problems presented either with or without significantcontextual elements. The primary

Three times as the Program Chair for the Graduate Studies Division of ASEE. Nick has had a major role in development and expansion of the ID division. Under his term as the International Division Program Chair the international division expanded, broadened in topics, and the number of sessions increased from a few technical sessions to over eighteen sessions in the recent years. The ASEE International Division by votes, has recognized Nick’s years of service through several awards over the past years.

In the diagram, apply these forces at the various points where the free body was supported by the ground or was connected to the other bodies. Generally, you should include the weight of the free body among the external forces. You should draw the weight so it acts at the center of gravity of the body. If the free body is made of several parts, do not include the forces the various parts exert on each other among the external forces. These forces are internal forces as far as the free body is concerned. 3. Clearly mark the magnitudes and directions of the

average cost ofcollege textbooks has risen three to four times faster than the rate of inflation over the past 10years. In a single year, the average college student spends more than $1,200 on books andmaterials, as reported by the College Board [2]. The survey conducted in this research confirmsthe high cost of learning resources for engineering students. The main problem is that as the endusers, students generally have no role in selecting the course learning materials. The high andrising cost of textbooks and its impending influence on the learning of students who cannotafford such prices has been investigated and discussed by government agencies, researchers, andeven public media [1], [3], [4], [5].

is a written guide, or a set of suggested steps, for solving a certain class of problems.It is not usually a detailed process because the nature of each problem is unique and requiressome creativity in the application of the relevant concepts. Enough detail is provided so thatstudents know the order of the steps to take in solving a problem. Key assumptions may also beprovided.Here is an example Compass for drawing a FBD of a beam, truss or frame structure: 1. Create a new drawing of the structure, representing each member as a line. 2. Represent internal connections as either pinned or welded. 3. Define a global coordinate system (GCS) that is convenient for the current problem. 4.

. Although graphs and stopmotion photography can be used to infer continuous motion, it can still be difficult to getstudents to appreciate the changing velocities and accelerations involved in the motion ofparticles and rigid bodies. To help overcome this, we have incorporated the use of an advancedmotion analysis system into several of our courses at Cal Poly.The use of motion analysis is nothing new – in fact the physics community has been using suchtechnology for years [1-3]. Some investigators have worked to develop their own motionanalysis software [4] to get around the high costs of most motion capture systems, and othershave recognized the advanced image processing capabilities of MatLab to perform motiontracking [5] (http
