SOME THOUGHTS FOR TEACHING ENGINEERING STATICSABSTRACTEngineering statics is a core technical and gate-keeper course for any mechanical engineeringprogram. During the last several years, it has been noticed that there are two common criticalissues for this course: implementation of the parallelogram law and drawing free-body diagrams.The parallelogram law is used to conduct vector addition and the reversed parallelogram law isused to resolve a vector into two components. This paper will present and explain how to jumpover the general applications of the parallelogram law and directly discuss Cartesian vectorsaddition. We will present and systematically explain all possible five types of free-bodydiagrams to facilitate students
