Immediate feedback has been associated with improved learning, especially duringformative stages of learning ([1]), when lower levels of Bloom’s taxonomy ([2],[3]) objectivesare met. The improved learning takes place due to two different mechanisms. The first one isdue to immediate feedback for students, along with multiple attempts allowed ([4]). Thesecond is due to a better understanding by the instructor of the shortcomings of students([5],[6],[7]). The approach closes the feedback loop faster for both students and instructors.

Their learning capacity to be catalyzedby the Centre seems lower than what we had hoped. Students struggled learning thecourse material, and we believe this is a reflection of the learning culture they acquired atpolytechnics, where they used mathematics as a calculation tool.We were asked by 2-4 students during class, who asked why they had to learn differentialequations. When we stated that differential equation is what we use to predict what'sgoing to happen in a mechanical system, they were rather mystified by the power ofmathematics to make predictions.

In thecase of structural analysis, the students learn the fundamental principles in the Staticsand Mechanics of Materials courses, which are prerequisites for the Structural AnalysisI course. The point emphasized to the students is that no matter how complex themodel and no matter what assumptions they make, the fundamental principles must stillbe satisfied.To motivate the value of fundamental principles in analysis of complex structures, theinstructor uses the Eiffel Tower as a case study. The structure has over 10,000members, but it was designed long before the invention of computers or handcalculators. It turns out that the analysis is simple

Although our results appear to be inconclusive, we report them here toillustrate an assessment method that might work if it were applied to data collected froma controlled experiment.Because the targeted strategies are transferable and applicable to most other engineeringcourses, we sought to measure whether students who are exposed to these strategies formhabits which are retained in later courses. We thus chose to measure student performance(grades) in advanced courses as a function of prior instruction in mechanics. Inparticular
