Learning Staticsrequires a considerable attention as the course concepts serve as "the building blocks for futurecourses in engineering, mechanics of solids and design in particular. There is a commondisappointment among many educators in the students' abilities to apply the concepts todesign/analyze real systems in the subsequent courses" (Condoor, Jayaram, & Boyer, 2008, p. 1).This paper describes re-design of the Engineering Mechanics I (Statics) course based on theoutcome based learning and also student-centered learning theories by integrating the Content,Assessment and Pedagogy together in a single model abbreviated as CAP, and utilizing theBackward Design Process.
