The models also provide a natural means for incorporating three-dimensional equilibrium into the curriculum. There were two goals in mind when using modelmaking as a learning tool: integrate three-dimensional activities from the start since buildingproblems are naturally three-dimensional and show how most three-dimensional problems can besimplified into two-dimensional problems. This meant that most examples were rectilinear, butthis conceptual way of teaching allows for students to relate building forms to structural behaviorand also allows students to apply abstract concepts to problems that model the built environment.As an example, a “12-node

Another solution may be to makeinternships an integral part of the undergraduate curriculum, or by designing the programaround co-op experiences. However, a downside of both internships and co-ops is that theactivities (usually) occur off campus, and out of the structure of curriculum. In otherwords, there may be significant benefit, but weaving those benefits into other curricularactivities may be problematic. Page 9.58.1 Capstone courses, as

The use of solid modeling (CAD) and finiteelement analysis (FEA) tools can require the introduction of new courses and/or a significantallotment of time within existing courses. Integration of the use of FEA software in coremechanical engineering courses can potentially absorb valuable time to accommodate the“learning curve” associated with CAD/FEA tools.In 2001, concerns about this learning curve led the Mechanical Engineering department atCalifornia State University, Northridge to adopt the SolidWorks family of design and analysistools as the standard for our curriculum.

. Although the intention behind the separation of domains was to facilitate abetter understanding of the learning process, an unfortunate consequence was that most of thework in curriculum development has taken place exclusively in the cognitive domain, except forsome compelling research support for the inseparability of the domains, especially betweencognitive and affective components [9]. The body of knowledge related to neuroscience,cognitive science, the social and behavioral sciences, and psychology shows that emotion andcognition interact to facilitate focused attention and decision making [10] [11] [12] and thatcognitive knowledge directs the execution of our movements or performances (motor-skills), andvice versa [12]. However, the
