BACKGROUNDThis class in life-cycle engineering (LCE) is an outgrowth of the recent expansions andimprovements in design education. One of these expansions, the use of industrial projects, is acornerstone of the class. The course is naturally based upon the major principles of life-cycleengineering.1.1 Design EducationFor quite some time, there has been a push to improve the content and applicability ofengineering design education. Spurred by changes in ABET certification criteria and anexplosion in design theory and methodology research, some universities revamped capstoneengineering design classes. Many mechanical engineering

Statics class; however, at SBU, these twoclasses have been offered in sequence with Statics as a pre-requisite for the Dynamics class. En-gineering Dynamics, by its very nature, is organic and connected – topics sequentially build uponprevious concepts. This prevents a fragmented and discrete presentation of the course material,which in turn increases cognitive load on students. It is widely believed among the students that Dynamics is best taken in-person, while thepaucity of an online version of the class seems to indicate that the educators have not been con-vinced of the idea of an online class either. A few researchers have created limited online learningobjects for enhancing learning of the material in Dynamics [5], and some have used

unclear on what they know and don’t know.Teach for Mastery (TfM) is a concept pioneered in the 1920s 1 with slow but steady research overthe decades, including work by Bloom 2 , and recently made popular by Sal Khan of KhanAcademy in a 2015 TED Talk 3 . The basic idea is let each student progress through the material attheir own individual pace 4,5 . Students can take and re-take both learning modules andassessments as many times as it takes for them to understand the material. This promotes agrowth mindset and encourages students to take time as needed because its never too late (untilthe course ends). TfM is gaining a foothold in higher education and research into it has largelyfound that it has positive effects on student learning 6,7,8 .A
