First, we describe how our institutional contexts haveallowed us to pursue this work effectively and with limited risk. Then, we provide examples thatwe have developed for use in class. Our work builds directly upon Moseley’s 2017 paper [1],calling for incremental steps as small as “one paragraph and a few simple questions” with theobjective of contextualizing statics. We hope by providing these modularized examples atdifferent degrees of implementability, we can bridge the gap between institutions such as ours,where we can freely experiment with curricula, and others where curricula provides little roomfor experimentation but may allow for

necessary to see improvements in studentperformance because Physics Mechanics is a required prerequisite for Dynamics. Therefore,students will already have seen, and have experience using, the three kinetics principles used indynamics: Newton’s 2nd law, work-energy, and impulse-momentum. Almost all dynamicstextbooks seem to assume no knowledge of kinetics and, based on the authors’ experiences, mostdynamics instructors assume no previous knowledge of kinetics. We hypothesized thatpresenting the kinetics material first would improve students’ performance on single- and multi-concept problems because we would be able to (1) build on students’ previous learning inPhysics, (2) motivate learning of the kinematics material, because we need the velocity

The typical engineering curriculum consisted of 5-yearprogrammes, with intermediate exams after one year and at the end of the third year.Accommodating to the Bologna criteria basically came down to an upgrade of the status ofthe third year examination. At the Faculty of Mechanical, Marine and Materials Engineering(3ME) of Delft University of Technology it was decided the training of research skills shouldbe part of the bachelor program. Since over a decade, the last course before the third yearexamination takes the shape of a research project. In the present curriculum this

While students complete several engineeringcourses in their sophomore-year, including statics and dynamics, materials, thermodynamics, andnumerical methods, the course selected is a statics and dynamics course that resembles manycourses in mechanical engineering curricula across the world because it is the most physicsintensive and includes direct instruction

This sequence involves teaching an introductory engineering course,CE300, to both engineering majors and non-majors, followed by CE364, a mechanics + materialscience course that is taken by those students majoring in Civil or Mechanical Engineering. Thesequence integrates statics, mechanics of materials and a lesson block on material science;information that is traditionally separated across two or more courses, making it difficult forstudents to form the key connections between statics, mechanics and materials that are the bread-and-butter of the working engineer.

materials technology for improving fuel efficiency,crashworthiness and performance of future vehicles is the lack of engineers with knowledge anddesign experience in the application of advanced materials. Many universities offer graduatelevel courses on materials science. These courses provide fundamental knowledge on thestructure, mechanics and physics behind advanced materials. The emphasis on these courses is“science”, not “engineering”. Students graduating with a materials science degree acquire theknowledge on the fundamentals of materials science and very little on materials engineering. Ingeneral, they do not acquire the proper background to design with these materials or to selectmaterials based on their design and processing

Consequently, an integrated approachhas been developed in which the basics of mechanics are introduced within the context ofthe different construction materials covered in this course and within a learning cycle thataddresses all the styles learning within an experiential learning cycle. The learning cyclesare designed to achieve the cognitive levels analysis, synthesis, and evaluation in order for thestudent to fully appreciate the relationship between engineering materials
