research is published in the area of engineering and statics.This paper describes and analyzes the impact of several active, collaborative, and project-basedlearning methods on student engagement, understanding, and passing rate in statics classes. Thisresearch was done over a period of three semesters. These research-based educational materialsand methods were implemented in statics classes, with an enrollment of about 100 students persection. The students were given pre and post Math-Statics Baseline (MSB) tests to determinethe gain in understanding statics materials. The results of the test in these classes are comparedwith the results from traditionally taught classes (lecture classes with typical testing).Also, classroom surveys of student

This is a very important area of technology development for collaborative engineeringeducation.Modelling, Analysis And Simulation Tools Engineers have always constructed models to help understand and communicate the behavior of realsystems. Educators are beginning to make more extensive use of powerful computer modelling and simulationsoftware. These tools promote a deeper understanding of the mathematical models used to represent realsystems, and facilitate “what-if” exploration of alternatives. Many of these tools are becoming available at lowcost on standard desktop

“engineering students have so much to learn before they can actuallystart practicing in the field, safely, that a formal rigorous engineering education at the Bachelorslevel is inescapable.”9 However, because competency in soft skills is also critical to theprofession, it is essential to look beyond textbook learning. A National Science Foundation studyrecommends engineering faculty engage students in “collaborative problem-solving, analysis,synthesis, critical thinking, reasoning, and reflections to real-world situations,” and that “newlearning approaches must be put to use that heighten practical learning and allow students todemonstrate the application of their studies to real-world situations.”10 Interestingly, theproposed revision to Criterion 3
