bad thing, mind you,but it ultimately led to frustration and further inaction. Two choices came to mind to shake things up and revitalize my teaching - finding a newjob, or finding a sabbatical host and getting leave approved. Leaving my job was out of thequestion, after all, there is a certain amount of pride in being a tenured faculty member at a top-notch engineering school. There were also family considerations, too complicated and tooprivate, and yet too boring, to go into. A sabbatical leave was the only hope for overcoming thestaleness and burnout As noted earlier, it also offered the opportunity for self-improvement, andI was certainly interested in improving my teaching.

central purpose was to require students to think about the entire engineering designprocess instead of simply the technical aspects. This was achieved through research into thepractices of the companies involved, including their location, the physical materials used, and thebenefits that the product provides to society. The purpose of this was to encourage the studentsto examine the impacts of these decisions and determine which would be sustainable.With these goals in mind, the following questions were given to the students to answer duringtheir presentations. The questions provided a set of guidelines for the information to cover anddefined one category of assessment for the work of the students. 1. Fundamentals of the Application: What is

(EER).Because DEI is an essential topic in education and engineering, this result suggests a significantgap in EER community knowledge. With this gap in mind, we thematically analyzed the 22articles that met the inclusion criteria to understand what faculty beliefs EER has focused on.The main result of this analysis was our proposed model, the Problematization-to-ActionContinuum (PTAC), which highlights faculty’s readiness to make change efforts towardpromoting DEI. The PTAC model is a single-axis continuum that contains three defined points(each end and the center). On one end, engineering faculty do not acknowledge there areproblems concerning DEI, and there are no actions taken toward bettering these issues. In thecenter, faculty

Interestingly, this state of affairs has changed little in the more than 40 years since the publication of the first editions of Meriam 1952, Shames in 1959, and Beer and Johnston in 1962 changed the way engineering mechanics was taught. In this paper, we present a formal procedure that we are using in the statics and dynamics texts we are writing. The procedure we are using is not new in that it derives from the approach used in more advanced mechanics courses in which the equations needed to solve problems derive from three areas or places
