However, implementing these approaches inStrength of Materials courses often requires students to spend considerable time learning FEtheory before being able to use commercial FEA programs.

Rather thanpresenting the mathematical derivation as the introduction to a topic, students were again dividedinto groups and given materials and actions to impose on these materials. A hands-on activity foreach major course topic was created (reactions, stress/strain axial loading, torsion, and bending)to introduce the basic concepts. A provided outline for these “discovery labs” aimed to help thestudents to first observe and describe a physical phenomenon and then represent itmathematically. For example, students were asked to build models of different joints
