Rhudy Division of Engineering, Business, and Computing, Penn State University, Reading, PA 19610, USAAbstractA program called “The Many Hats of Statics” was created for use within an engineeringmechanics course, statics, to improve the student engagement by incorporating fun activities intothe classroom experience. The centerpiece of these activities was a theme and corresponding hatwhich the instructor would wear, related to a popular movie or TV series. Themes consisted ofscience fiction movies like Star Wars, fantasy movies like Lord of the Rings, and other iconicpop culture references like the Karate Kid and Robin Hood. The theme was introduced in atheatrical manner by first introducing the theme through a sound clip related

Back to the Basics: Implementation of Structured Homework Assignments in DynamicsIntroductionThe authors experimented with a structured homework system in a required dynamics course formechanical engineering students. This course typically has 40-90 sophomore and junior levelstudents enrolled and has been taught in a flipped format, using the SCALE-UP model (Beichner2008) and team-based learning (Michaelsen, Knight et al. 2002) for several semesters. For manysemesters, the instructor has utilized an online homework system. Recently, the instructorwondered about the impact of the online homework system on the ability of students to solveproblems and on their engagement with the material.The online homework system, while very

that they can better design coursecontent and establish policies.Research studies in computer science courses have shown that students who spread their workover more time (instead of cramming before a deadline) [3] or complete their work early [4]achieve better course performance. Nevertheless, academic procrastination (the intentionaldeferring or delaying of work that needs to be completed [5]) is a significant problem in highereducation. Some findings report that 80–95% of college students procrastinate, and that 50% ofstudents procrastinate consistently [6, 7, 8]. Procrastination can be caused by many reasons, suchas a lack of time management skills, too much work in some classes, or simply not having theright incentive to work.One way to

LensAbstract:Physics generally falls under engineering programs yet is required for a multitude of differentmajors spanning many departments and disciplines including medicine. When people think aboutthe medical field, their mind immediately goes to classes such as biology, chemistry, anatomyand physiology. However, when looking at the prerequisite courses for medical school or testedMCAT content, there seems to be one subject that doesn’t fit in with the rest: physics. For years,pre-health students have joked that physics is much less applicable to their future careers than theother courses. The goal of this research paper is to tackle the general student assumption thatunderstanding physics will not help them in their respective fields by providing real
