-year engineering course, is taken by many engineering disciplines and serves asa foundational course for many subsequent theoretical engineering and design courses. It is oneof the first technical courses the students take and integrates their math and science prerequisiteswith engineering applications. It is considered a challenging course in the engineeringcurriculum and due to its timing, often in the second year where expectations increase andattrition is common, makes it a pivotal part of their academic journey.The content of Statics is well-established, but to foster student engagement and encourage deeperlearning the course was redesigned. The redesign involved restructuring the course into a flippedclassroom model utilizing a mastery
less an imparter of knowledge and more a designer and a facilitator oflearning experiences and opportunities. In other words, the real challenge in college teaching isnot trying to cover the material for the students, as many of us believe and practice today; but,rather uncovering the material with the students. This is a call for all faculty involved withteaching engineering courses and as members of faculty teams who develop, maintain andimplement engineering programs , to consider not only the content and topics that make up anengineering degree but also how students engage with these materials. It is primarily a call toconsider how students engage in their college experience, and to search for proper tools that canbe deployed to stimulate

The overall hypothesis of this effort is that the two-course sequence we will describe, which utilizes the Richard Paul/Linda Elder framework of CT[3], will effectively and consistently facilitate students’ acquisition of information literacy andwriting skills, and speed the development of intellectual independence.The two courses are designed for just-in-time intervention to graduate students at key juncturesin their programs of study. The first course is for new graduate students who have selected aresearch project and who are expected to begin developing breadth and depth of understandingthereof.
