sections andthe graphical approach. During teaching the Mechanics of Materials course, it had been noticedthat some students had difficulty in effectively drawing the S/B diagrams. Even during seniordesign projects in their senior year, it was still found that some students had some difficulty indrawing the S/B diagrams. The method of sections [1,2] can be used to determine fully the shear force and bending momentat any cross-section of beams and to draw the S/B diagrams. When there are several externalforces on a beam, the beam must be divided into several segments. The method of sections willbe used repeatedly in each segment. Since it is tedious and time-consuming to use this method,the graphical approach for drawing S/B diagrams is introduced
