Engineering Education, 2019 A Specifications-Based Approach for the Design and Delivery of a Statics/Dynamics CourseIntroductionLearning and teaching represent two complementary, but also separate aspects of the educationalenvironment. A good, or great, teacher can assist a student in learning, but cannot necessarilyinstill the habits of good learning within a student. In contrast, good, or great, learners arecapable of high levels of learning even in environments where teaching may be weak. As such,it seems that one of the primary responsibilities of a teacher ought to be the training of a studentto become an effective learner. This training lies less in the classroom presence and behavior ofthe teacher and more on
