Thelaboratory course is intended to accompany a concurrent senior level/graduate level structuraldynamics course in which the relevant theoretical concepts of structural dynamics areintroduced. One possible experimental laboratory (3 hours) per week over a 10 week quarter isdescribed in this paper.BackgroundA unique experimental dynamic laboratory is developed to improve students’ physicalunderstanding of the complex principles presented in mechanical vibrations courses. There isoften a disconnect in students’ minds between theoretical models and real world applications

Math Stress Quests: When teaching math problems, students were tasked with identifying real-world examples in and around the classroom building, thereby increasing interactions. Hands-on in-class activities, especially those requiring them to go out of class to identify real-world applications while learning were essential engagement tools improving student-faculty interactions. When teaching vectors, students were asked to determine the distance between two locations on campus using the principles learned during the Vectors Math lecture.
