ratio in the college made it challenging for academic advisers to focus onin-depth conversations with students during advising appointments. Academic advisers foundthat during their limited conversation time with students, they were addressing issues that weremore common in nature. Advisers were looking for a place to refer students to discuss thesecommon advising topics, such as learning university systems and selecting general educationclasses so a student’s time with the adviser could be focused on more substantive discussions.Keeping the above goals in mind, the following mission statement was created to guide theprogram: The Peer Advising Program will advance the College of Engineering mission by offering technical and advising

The large-scale projects necessary during this timesuch as conducting sieges, constructing fortifications, and building bridges, required theknowledge of technical military engineers. Prior to the Revolution, the level of capitalinvestment and risk in American society was never high enough to justify the expense of full-time

thesoftware.Conclusion and Future WorkBased on our work so far, here are our recommendations for further study:1. We should attempt to understand how students are conceptualizing a moment; including moments caused by a fixed support (versus, say, a pin support). This could be done with protocols that look specifically at such supports in diagrams (both 2D and 3D) and ask students to explain where a moment exists or doesn’t exist and why.2. We should focus next steps on engaging students deeply in diagram recognition and generation across 2D and 3D representations such that we can identify why students had the types of difficulties we saw with free-body diagrams. For instance we could give students a problem, including a free body diagram that is not
