A rigid body dynamics course covering single-body kinetics isusually completed in early semesters, and often the material is not revisited before graduation.Students typically graduate without a sense of how to simulate the forward dynamics of evensimple multi-body systems such as slider-crank or four-bar mechanisms.

The authors are exploring the use of interactive digital tools as away to present large-scale concept maps that organize information and show connections acrossthe curriculum without overwhelming the user visually. As an exemplar, the authors havechosen the content in an engineering statics course. If successful, the concept mapping toolcould be used to cognitively link information between courses in engineering mechanics andthen across the entire engineering curriculum. As the first step in this process, the authors set outto capture an expert’s knowledge of engineering

It is assembled with smooth pins and is symmetric about the two-dimensional plane. Three other design projects discussed briefly include a brace structure, beamhanger, and simple hoist structure. Lecture examples, homework problems, and design projectproblems are solved with all equations formulated symbolically. One major advantage is thatsymbolic equations can be solved for any variable value. Furthermore, the design processgenerally requires solving problems over a range of variable

Central to this approach is teaching the most fundamental topics ofdynamics in the first week: kinetics, kinematics, and computer simulation. This teaching takesplace in the context of rectilinear motion using examples that extend across all three topic areas.This gives students an overview of the course, allowing them to make connections between whatcan seem like isolated topics. It also makes the course more robust; students learn the big ideasearly on, and the rest of the course develops these ideas for cases of increasing complexity.Exciting examples that students can relate to are used to teach the material which helps
