A rigid body dynamics course covering single-body kinetics isusually completed in early semesters, and often the material is not revisited before graduation.Students typically graduate without a sense of how to simulate the forward dynamics of evensimple multi-body systems such as slider-crank or four-bar mechanisms. Engineers should havesome increased depth of understanding in this

have adopted the method forteaching their courses. However, the increased number of exams with the SMART approachcould provide significant stress on students if they are taking several classes that are taught withthe approach. By developing more useful study habits early in their curriculum while taking corecourses, it is hoped that these habits would stick and prove beneficial throughout theirundergraduate career.This paper provides other new instructors with a summary of the basic premise of the SMARTmethod and an example of modifications that allowed it to be successfully adopted in a newcourse.References 1.

is to reinforce and deepen students' knowledge of core subjecttheories in the mechanical engineering (ME) curriculum.Dynamics is not a traditional laboratory subject in the ME curriculum, probably because theanalysis of problems follows deductively from a pair of hypotheses (laws of linear and angularmomentum) which are time honored and well accepted. However, in recent years, there havebeen several efforts to introduce it into the laboratory. Most of these efforts involve themeasurement of one dimensional particle motion (using an accelerometer or LVDT) or planarrotation about a fixed point (using an optical encoder or RVDT).i (See, for example, 2,3,4.)The attempt of this paper is to facilitate experimentation with planar rigid body motion

potential of the available tools throughout all of the formative phases of thecurriculum. Based on evidence from experience, we advocate for a new, consistent approach ofearly and continued exposure to FEA, beginning with the freshmen year, and continuing withsubsequent mechanics courses, in which students can learn and interpret results of FEA, withoutrequiring deep instruction in the underlying FE theory. We further argue that this concurrentFEA usage will improve students‟ understanding of mechanics theory and practice. We hope thatthis paper may provide a foundation and justification for considering the use of professionalsoftware in engineering education.1.
