of the Fall 2014 class and Fall2015 class was made. No significant change was identified.Over the two prerequisite engineering courses, Statics and Strengths of Materials, the gradeswere quite similar. Specifically, for student “A”, with a grade of “B” in Statics, followed by agrade of “C” in Strengths, produced a “C” in Structures 1. It was identified that the Statics andStrengths of Materials grades could be a predictor for the Structures grade. Further, theprerequisite courses have been modified and it is anticipated that the students will be moreprepared for this course.Conclusion:Utilizing non-traditional assignments with submission as youtube.com encouraged students to bemore creative. Although creativity was identified in the rubric

learning projects, as our campus is one of the nations leaders in suchproject types. It is however uncommon for the design students to be placed on projects that askthem to step outside their comfort zone in terms of social economic interaction with communityresidents/partners. Asking them to set aside their personal biases to apply their design skills to aproject that would create a usable space for those that are afflicted with Sickle Cell, as well as aworking environment for those that provide much needed social services to them. This three-partstudy saw our students study three options: • Renovation that would connect the two adjacent facilities currently being used by the agency. • Designing proposals for a new structure one

problems, in analready full academic curriculum. This paper describes an approach to helping students developstructural engineering design skills in an introductory level mechanics of solids class. Thisapproach includes three components: (i) a process book, (ii) a design workshop, and (iii) a post-design workshop critique. The specific design skills that students learn and practice includeproblem scoping, brainstorming, sketching, generating and evaluating alternative schemes, andcritique. Additionally, through this project, students contextualize their understanding of thefundamental principles of solid mechanics. The merit of this project is that students cansuccessfully learn design skills in an existing introductory engineering
