The main problem solved in the current case was to find ways to make the subject of statics more easily and more deeply understood.Prof. Mehrdaad Ghorashi P.E., University of Southern Maine Mehrdaad Ghorashi is a registered Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) in Ontario. In 1995, after receiving his first Ph.D. (on dynamics of structures under moving loads), Ghorashi joined the mechanical engineering Department of Sharif University of Technology as an Assistant Professor. In 2004, Ghorashi moved to Canada where he worked in Carleton University as a Postdoctoral Fellow. He also taught a few courses at Carleton for which he received the Best Professor Award from the Carleton Student
pedagogical tools is an excellent way to enhance a student’s knowledge.Introduction Providing proper educational needs for engineering students requires an understanding of basic foundational principles and laws. Some students start learning this information through a shroud of confusion or partial understanding. In this technological society, professors are inventing ways to engage their students while maintaining the integrity of engineering education. The discussion of results from a collaboration between several universities determined that students may not always understand a topic or how it can be applied in industry. (1) Additionally, professors believe that once students matriculate through their program an increased interest

-12 students [1], robotic soccer competitions have spanned the globe [2],and various professional organizations, including ASME [3] and IEEE [4], have included roboticcompetitions in their student design competitions.However, none of these competitions seem to have similarities to many other long-term,successful intracollegiate engineering competitions (such as SAE Baja or Heavy Lift). Thesecompetitions inspire students, but also allow teams to improve their designs and technology overthe years, rules that change slowly, and clear rules on what can and cannot be “reused” fromprior competitions. The result of this is that over the years, a winning Baja car from years agowould struggle to compete in today’s competition – teams have gotten much
