Using Technology to Improve the Traditional Chalk and Talk Lecture Douglas R. Carroll University of Missouri-RollaIntroduction This is a report on several years of experimentation trying different ways of incorporatingtechnology into teaching basic engineering mechanics courses of statics and mechanics ofmaterials. I've taught at least one section of statics or mechanics of materials almost everysemester for the last 18 years, a combined total of over 60 sections of statics and mechanics ofmaterials. I'm a popular teacher with the students and have won many teaching awards. Most ofmy attempts at bringing technology into the classroom have failed, and I

Thinking” in the Context of EducationIntroductionIn 2005, Roger Martin (now the Dean of the University of Toronto’s Rotman School ofManagement) was quoted as saying, “In this turbulent, get-real economy, the advantage goes tothose who can out imagine and out create their competitors”.1 “Imagine” and “Create” are veryartistic words for a School of management Dean. In the increasingly competitive globalenvironment, both business and engineering have become more interested in gaining a broaderunderstanding of the principles of creativity in their search for more meaningful innovation. Oneof the more recent terms to describe this interest in Innovation is the term “design thinking”.Creativity and design thinking are thought of as “right-brain

Students are paid to work amaximum of 20 hours per week during the fall and spring academicsemesters, and full time during the summer. Students are given significantroles and responsibilities in the engineering phase along side professionalengineers, and it is not unusual for a student with demonstrated abilities totake a lead responsibility in a design.

faculty alignment.Knowledge inherently divides itself into two related branches of learning. Traditional ordinaryknowledge is obtained from systematic, purposeful, organized information; contrariwise, higherknowledge is produced by the use of insight and other creative mind processes. The knowledgeage begins with ordinary knowledge coming from existing information and moves to higherknowledge as mental power increases. This dichotomy requires a broader interpretation ofknowledge from a noun to a verb basis. The result is knowledging, which then allows the solv-ing of new and different technical problems. However, knowledging is reversible – knowledgedecays first to informatics then to routine public information.Engineering faculty must begin
