TheStatics and Strengths of Materials class is the first core engineering class that focuses on aspecific area. As one of the intents is to strengthen students’ lab skills, the course initially washeavy in labs and lab reports. The sheer workload proved challenging for many students.Students were observed to desperately try to stay awake in the mathematics class, having spentthe previous night writing reports and keeping up with other classes. The overall effect was thatstudents did not learn as well as they could because of exhaustion. Interestingly enough thedemanding faculty member from the

In fact, retesting is a key component of bothKeller’s [2] and Bloom’s [3] methods of instruction, and through many research studies retestinghas been shown to be an effective learning tool.Bostow and O’Connor [4] divided their educational psychology class into two groups of students(N1=20, N2=21); the remedial group was allowed to retake the weekly quizzes, and the non-remedial group was not. The pre-test scores of the two groups were comparable, and nosignificant difference was found between the mean scores of the groups on the initial quizattempts. For those

The stress-strain curve for steelcan be described as “Traffic Gridlock on an Interstate.” The initial portion of the curveresembles slow moving traffic that produces large amounts of stress for drivers. This is followedby a point on the curve or location on the interstate when traffic speed increases resulting indecreased stress and much greater strain. This comparison continues through strain hardeninguntil failure or the drivers reach their destination. Straws are an effective method of illustratingthe structure of wood.

equations. Theycan be obtained from Newton’s laws or Lagrange’s equations. An energy method is preferredfor modeling multi-degree-of-freedom systems. We try to find analytical solutions to thedifferential equations but it is not always possible. For most complicated differential equations(nonlinear) they cannot be solved in this way and therefore we use numerical methods. Nowstudents, researchers, and engineers have some computational software that helps to overcomethese difficulties.Most vibrations in machines and structures are undesirable because of the increased stresses andenergy losses. They should therefore be eliminated or reduced as much as possible byappropriate design. It is very important for high-speed machines, lighter structures

I also let students know that they can renegotiate project scopethroughout the quarter with no grade penalty.After the initial proposal stage, I act as more of a consultant than a teacher. When students havequestions about board functionality or how to create a system, I point them to documentation andother resources that might help. I also let them know if other teams are working on a similarissue and encourage them to collaborate to find a solution. While I do
