engineering concepts through examples from their own livesis a powerful way to help engage students. It helped to deepen student understanding of coursematerial, and got students to start asking questions about other applications of engineeringprinciples rather than just reproducing calculations. It also helped to get students more involvedin lectures and helped turn the lectures into active learning exercises. This experience has led theinstructor to reexamine some of the examples that are used in other classes to see how they couldbetter connect to students.5. Bibliography1.

During these years, he has made aneffort to make the students excited about mechanics as a way to characterize the behaviorof materials at various scales and for a variety of applications, including topics such as thedescriptions of phase transitions and the derivation of nonlinear continuum propertiesfor molecular dynamics simulations. Behind this effort there is a strong belief that the-oretical mechanics has much to offer to the solution of today’s technological challenges,which, with a strong emphasis on nano-scale phenomena, require a deep

Communications Commission (FCC) to deliver classes to studentsin remote locations (Casey, 20081.) In 1934 the University of Iowa delivered the firsttelevised class to students (Casey, 20081.) The FCC followed this by creating a band of 20television channels (known as the Instructional Television Fixed Service) to deliver low costcourses to the nation in 1963. New technologies have enabled the development of many newsynchronous and asynchronous methods.With the new technologies available for delivering distance education, there is relatively nolimitation to the development of delivery systems that can cater to all learning and teachingstyles. During the summer of 2011, the dean of the engineering college of a Midwestuniversity approached the other
