Strategies for Success in a Neuroinclusive Large Mechanics of Materials ClassAbstractThe Mechanics of Materials course is a core offering at the University of Connecticut, catering tostudents majoring in civil, mechanical, manufacturing, and biomedical engineering. Delivered ina flipped classroom format, students engage with video materials that cover the theory outside ofclass. In class, students focus on developing problem-solving skills, exploring real-lifeapplications of mechanics concepts, and participating in multiple active learning activities. In2020, the course underwent a redesign to align with inclusive teaching standards, aimed atproviding support to neurodivergent students.For the Spring 2023 semester, the course

Society for Engineering Education, 2024 Pull, Twist, and Break: Helping Engineering Students Visualize Material FailuresAbstractThe materials tested in basic engineering mechanics courses, such as steel and aluminum, havebeen well studied and have consistent material properties. Experimentally testing these materialsin a laboratory setting helps students visualize the difference between the failure behavior ofductile and brittle materials. However, there are thousands of other materials which arecommonly used in industry and academia which exhibit different behaviors or are moreinconsistent between samples. These materials may behave differently when subjected todifferent loading conditions such as tension

, 2024 Student Led Curriculum Development: Incorporating Mechanics of Materials Students in the Design of Statics Curricula. A Work in Progress.Abstract Students are a valuable stakeholder in curriculum design, yet they are seldom involved incurricular design efforts. One of the main concerns inhibiting student involvement in curriculumdevelopment is their perceived lack of required knowledge and pedagogical training. However,what if the goals for including students in curriculum design were not exclusively focused oncreating adoptable curricula? The purpose of this study was to provide students enrolled in a summer term ofmechanics of materials an opportunity to develop a learning
