LensAbstract:Physics generally falls under engineering programs yet is required for a multitude of differentmajors spanning many departments and disciplines including medicine. When people think aboutthe medical field, their mind immediately goes to classes such as biology, chemistry, anatomyand physiology. However, when looking at the prerequisite courses for medical school or testedMCAT content, there seems to be one subject that doesn’t fit in with the rest: physics. For years,pre-health students have joked that physics is much less applicable to their future careers than theother courses. The goal of this research paper is to tackle the general student assumption thatunderstanding physics will not help them in their respective fields by providing real

Eventhough the team members are non-paid volunteers, their effort is recognized and indirectly compensatedby course grades and credits via, e.g. senior design projects. At the kick off meeting in September 2007,two student team leaders were elected from the remaining members of the previous year’s DARPA GrandChallenge team. The student team leaders’ responsibilities include: organizing team meetings,communication, and integration of technical efforts. A panel of faculty advisors from electrical andcomputer engineering as well as mechanical engineering was assembled along with an industry advisor,thereby providing technical leadership in areas of automation/control, guidance

One reason for this, he thought, was that so much focus wentinto mastering the mathematics of analysis and how to use software packages that emphasis onintuitive understanding lagged.

IntroductionAn important aim in engineering education is to ensure that students not only learn to understandtheories and models, and their relation to objects and events, but also learn to use and apply thesemodels and theories. Especially during lab-work, students are expected to link observed data toboth theoretical models and the objects and events they are exploring1, 2. However, according to alarge body of research, establishing relevant connections between concepts, representations,theories/models and observable objects and events is a very difficult task for students3, 4.Mechanics, first experienced by engineering students in introductory physics courses,encompasses an important set of foundational concepts for success
