new materials such as hands-on activities, interactive multimedia, andgroup learning. This balance with concrete experience is especially needed in “building-block”courses that create the foundation for advanced design courses. If we expect students to performwell with open-ended, project-centered problems, we need to provide a pedagogical basis acrossthe entire undergraduate curriculum. This paper presents such a basis for one importantengineering core topic: mechanics of materials. Active learning concepts applied in mechanicsof materials courses are discussed, including specific examples of hands-on, multimedia, andgroup design exercises.1.

Male 3: I also thought of that idea, but then I couldn't figure out how to make it work so then I didn't draw it or anything (S/PM).Students seemed to evaluate their own ideas prior to sharing them with other members. If studentsfelt ideas were not “good enough,” they omitted them from their brainstorm. Moreover, studentsfelt that their background in engineering curriculum led them to make certain design decisions.Influence of Education therefore describes the self-imposed

One of the major improvementswas to include a Precalculus course in addition to Calculus I, and a core composition Englishcourse. The added option of taking either Calculus I or Precalculus allowed all of the students inthe learning community to be enrolled in an ELC math course. The improved fall 2017 ELC alsoincluded courses for the students to take in their second semester including a second semesterEnglish course, a second semester math course and a Solidworks design course.

And yes – my high school engineering teacher loved talking about it because hewas really involved with the theater department.”Many students expressed that their lack of interest in the arts stemmed not from a distaste for thearts, but from a greater interest in other domains of engineering. Perhaps the most upfront ofthese students was Kyle, who shared that “No I wouldn’t [consider an engineering career in thearts], I would prefer to work in a manufacturing plant
