However, currenttechnology has not been incorporated in the teaching of the material. Specifically, there is achapter in most texts that addresses basic finite element analysis (FEA) theory. However, FEA isnot used to teach the concepts of machine design. Conversely, the content of machine design isnot used to enhance

freshman year. In most curricula, computing is then systematicallyignored for the remainder of the program, resulting in graduates who are weak in computational science.In many institutions, ours included, the freshman computer science course fell victim to cuts caused bypressure to reduce the number of total hours in the curriculum. These outcomes stand at odds with thefeedback from industry that students need more computational knowledge upon graduation [1].There is room for debate as to which computational environment is best for students to learn and whatshould be the nature of computational knowledge taught. The answers vary across disciplines anduniversities, yet faculty generally agree that students need more education in how to use

possibility of misconception in thetechnical core course Mechanics of Materials [3,4]. They found that students had somemisconceptions on normal and shear stress and deformations in axially loaded members [4].Some educators used physical experiments and FEA (Finite Element Analysis) to help studentsto have a better understanding of the combined stresses [5,6]. Typically, in the course ofmechanics of materials, the concepts, formulas, and procedures for combined loading arediscussed in lectures towards the end of the course. Some educators suggested that the concepts,formulas, and procedure of the combined stress calculation should be presented and discussedmuch earlier [7], so students have more time to comprehend the combined stress calculations.The
