Analysis and Discussion of ResultsThe results from traditionally teaching Engineering Mechanics are compared to those from thetraditional teaching combined with the Internet teaching. Such comparison is based on the sameconditions, namely, using the same textbook and materials, the same number of assignments(e.g., ten homework and quizzes given weekly) as well as the same tests and exams materials(e.g., the same problems for two comprehensive tests plus the mid-term and final exams). Thegrades from the courses taught in 1997 and in 1998 are

Page 3.105.1COURSE MOTIVATIONMost industries that employ MET graduates develop, manufacture, or use products thatexperience dynamic loading (e.g. automobiles, aircraft, pumps, engines, hydraulics, etc). Whenmechanical failures occur they often can be attributed to fatigue since rarely are mechanicalcomponents just statically loaded. The principles associated with mechanical fatigue are not thatcomplicated and are appropriate for mechanical technologists.The fracture mechanics approach to analysis and design is foreign to most engineeringtechnologists. For many industries, however, fracture mechanics is an integral part of theirmechanical analysis. As an example, both the commercial and military aircraft industries, areflying many aircraft

and how classroom and institutionaldesign can mitigate the effects.1 IntroductionThere is a growing call to diversify the pipeline of engineering students to meet the need oftechnological development and to advance equity in Science, Technology, Engineering, andMath (STEM). To achieve this goal, academic institutions are looking introspectively tounderstand how their campus environments are designed to foster student success and equity.This work seeks to identify gaps in engineering student success through a ten-year study ofacademic performance correlated to student identity and course attributes.The work of Tinto [1], [2] has been built upon to show that a students’ sense of belonging isrelated to their propensity to persist in higher

growing as online learning proliferates [9]. During COVID-19 we saw a surge inthe use of remote proctoring as restrictions were in place that prevented in-person testing [10],[11]. This surge in users, both on the student and faculty end, has highlighted concerns about theapplication of remote proctoring. One of these concerns is the effect of remote proctoring onstudents [10], [12]. There is work that indicates this form of assessment increases negativeemotions experienced by students such as testing anxiety [10], [12] which may impact students’performance. As such, our goal is to increase the trustworthiness of remote exams while alsocreating a more comfortable testing environment for students.Remote proctoring services discourage cheating

During previous semesters, we devoted time to discussing combined stresscalculations with students to determine why they had difficulty determining the combinedstresses. While they knew that the calculation of combined stress was an important skill, theyfelt that they were “lost” when they dealt with the combined stress issue. This might be simplycaused by the misconceptions about the stress because undergraduate students often have far lessconceptual abstract understanding in core engineering courses than faculty assumes [3].
