For example, tipping is the reason behind several accidents and recalls and theresulting injuries and deaths. For instance, 200+ fatalities were caused by furniture tippingbetween January 2000 and April 2022. Improper loading can also cause the tipping of airplanes,cranes, and other products, resulting in significant financial

Typically,students are first exposed to them in their introductory ordinary differential equations (ODEs)course and in either a “rigid body dynamics” [1] and/or a “system dynamics” [2] course, all ofwhich are required courses, vs. an elective course, such as Vibrations. Coverage in a lecture settingis common and in some cases simulation software is used, such as MATLAB/Simulink [3].

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

These courses are part of a non-disciplinary engineering program and start second semester sophomore year and continuethrough first semester junior year. The labs are inquiry-based and meant to be completed in oneto two 100-minute lab periods, providing students with multiple distinct problems to addressthroughout the courses.The labs are motivated by design briefs providing a real-world problem.
