stripinvolving advanced plasma techniques. Again the lead Engineer here is arenowned physicist. I would therefore suggest that engineering educationinnovations should also involve some interdisciplinary approaches.4. Conclusion:The technologies are bound to evolve with time based on better modelingtechniques. Intricate sound principles are sure to be explored. Therefore, wemust teach fundamentals of physics, chemistry and mathematics rigorouslyand demonstrate continually, how the state-of-art technologies are based onthese fundamentals. This is the cardinal philosophy of Innovation inEngineering Education including interdisciplinary approaches to somereasonable extent.I am convinced however, that innovations in engineering education must becarried out

outperformed the experienced traditional instructor at fosteringmathematical sense-making but underperformed at fostering traditional problem solving. Inother words, the novice instructor’s success at teaching mathematical sense-making came at acost. A third instructor, expert in emphasizing mathematical sense-making, showed that it ispossible to succeed at teaching mathematical sense-making without a significant trade-off inteaching traditional problem-solving. However, for instructors considering the adoption ofphysics/engineering education research-based instructional strategies, trade-offs must beacknowledged and tough choices must be made.IntroductionWhat instructional objectives in physics courses most help engineering students succeed in

. Therefore, innovative teaching methods in engineering staticsare necessary in order to emphasize specific concepts in statics. Showing students “abstract”mechanics principles is not an easy task and usually requires proactive measures to improvelearning. In an effort to improve visualization and learning in a mechanics course, a physicalmanipulative was used investigate its pedagogical impact on students. The objective of thisexploratory study was to help students improve their ability to assess foundational concepts instatics.
