In terms of academics, Justin would never have been exposed to higher levels of math or science, because he struggles with visual processing.……….This does not mean he cannot learn, but that teaching him requires creative thinking and a commitment to helping him learn in a manner which works for him. He is forever behind his peers academically, in terms of classroom experience. You cannot imagine the pride Justin takes in knowing that he has just spent 2 weeks at a camp taught by professors, graduate students, and caring volunteers who appreciate his intelligence. Justin is rarely able to surpass his 'normal' peers in terms of life's experiences. You have changed that for him

However, where Statics is finallyrelevant to engineering practice in the analysis and design of mechanical systems, instruction hasbeen notably unsuccessful.
