comparison with thisgroup, using the same enrollment data, a second group of at-risk students were identified fromthe three-hour statics class using a more formal logistic regression based screening procedure. Aperformance comparison between the two groups showed that the extra contact hour in staticshad a minor, statistically insignificant effect on student final exam and final course grades inboth statics and dynamics. I. Introduction In a variety of engineering curricula the concepts developed in statics and dynamicsimpact the study of both introductory (e.g. strength of materials, fluid mechanics) and advancedcourses (e.g. machine design, structural mechanics and vibrations). Despite their importancestudents often complete these

demands placed on all faculty members, it would have been veryuseful if the project could fund an initial round of assessment for each individual VCP memberto make a preliminary assessment of how their participation in the Mechanics VCP impacted theteaching and learning in their classrooms.Nonetheless, the initial implementation of the Mechanics VCP had many merits and seems tohave added value to the professional development of many of the VCP members. We expect toreport further on the Fall 2013 VCP activities (which were less formalized than the Spring 2013activities) in a future ASEE paper.Acknowledgments:This material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF) underGrant No. DUE-1224217.

ConclusionsStudent overall positive attitudes toward the OEMPs from Fall 2020 were largely comparable toprevious attitudes in an aerospace mechanics of materials class taught by the third author at theUniversity of Michigan discussed in [5], despite the implementation in [5] as homework projectsand our implementation here of a project. Attitudes in Spring 2020 were slightly more negative -while we cannot conclusively say why or how much, it is likely that mid-semester disruption dueto the pandemic played some role. Other possible sources of differing satisfaction with theOEMP projects between the fall and spring semesters are (1) the format of the final project; (2)the fact that in the fall, students already knew what was expected of them when assigned

While CM students will not become professional engineers, animportant part of their education is an introduction to engineering concepts 41. Knowledge ofengineering mechanics concepts can help construction professionals better understand a buildingstructure and its associated parts, assist them in planning and sequencing construction, help themrecognize unstable or unsafe conditions, and provide them with the language to
