graspdifferent aspects of the subject matter. By presenting the answers from the students in class, theinstructor can build up an understanding of the complex idea. In this way, students feel greaterownership of the course, come better prepared to class, and have more productive interactionswith the professor. This year, we utilized the technique in two mechanics courses, dynamics andmechanics of materials. Student perceptions of the technique were mixed, depending on the typeof implementation and the current workload in the course. Examples of the use of JiTT in thesecourses are presented and a framework for applying the techniques to mechanics is described.The instructors were pleased with how JiTT provoked student thought, and the authors providesome

The designproject discussed in-depth is a statically determinate hoist frame structure. The hoist is used tolift an object of weight. It is assembled with smooth pins and is symmetric about the two-dimensional plane. Three other design projects discussed briefly include a brace structure, beamhanger, and simple hoist structure. Lecture examples, homework problems, and design projectproblems are solved with all equations formulated symbolically. One major advantage is thatsymbolic equations can be solved for any variable value. Furthermore, the design processgenerally requires solving problems over a range of variable

Compositematerials are manufactured with various matrix materials such as metals, ceramics and polymers.Out of these, polymers are being reinforced with fibers widely to manufacture composites. Thesecomposites are manufactured not only with specific mechanical and chemical properties foraviation and aerospace sectors but also for general use such as in sports goods, fluid containersand conduits, and vehicles for land and water transport.

.” About 180 students in the class were broken into groups of four studentsand each group chose a specific product to be dissected and analyzed in detail. Two lectureswere devoted to material selection in mechanical design where the Ashby charts wereintroduced. One of the areas that the students looked at was to determine the material andmanufacturing process used for each component within their chosen product. The productsranged from electric drills, radio controlled cars, door knobs, Nerf guns, etc. The students wereexpected to explain in detail why a particular material was chosen for a subcomponent of theirchosen part and also why a particular manufacturing process was used for the production of thatpart. They were also required to suggest
