The academic introduction to the bending of beams with constant crosssection is usually given to students of these disciplines early in the engineering curriculum in acourse in mechanics of materials. That which is presented here is not meant to supplant thefundamental understanding of the bending phenomenon but rather to provide an introduction tonumerical approximations often needed for real-world applications. It is important for students tofirst gain understanding of the static bending problems from an analytical and physical point ofview. Typical courses where static bending problems are encountered are structural analysis,advanced mechanics of materials

In contrast to the didactic learning opportunities students encounter inschool, which follow a pre-existing curriculum and are tightly mediated by an instructor, situatedlearning opportunities are shaped by everyday practices and left largely to novices forinterpretation.

It also,importantly, requires that students tie their work with the community to a deeper understandingof their discipline.Service learning plays an important role in engineering education because it connects the oftentheoretical engineering curriculum to the world they are seeking to better. Historically, mostengineering classes have been heavily focused on imparting science and math knowledge to thestudents. The students often solve simple technical problems or design well-defined technicalsolutions to theoretical problems. There is, therefore, a gap between what students are toldengineering will be (changing the world) and what they are practicing as students (theoretical,well-defined problems). Project-based service

Developing a FLL team helped those who participated develop problem solvingskills, critical thinking skills, interpersonal skills, personal responsibility, time management, andparticipants also gained a better understanding of engineering. Participants also gained newconfidence, interests, and involvement in science and math. One of the other most importantgoals for the team was not to win but to succeed as a team.One considerable goal of this program was to set an example to other middle schools across thestate of Iowa.

Effective teaching is defined in terms of Lowman’s two-dimensional model of intellectual excitement and interpersonal rapport5 and the ExCEEdTeaching Model6. Because civil engineering education for many students is preparation forprofessional licensure and a career in civil engineering practice, those who teach it should havepractical experience as an employed engineer in a consulting firm, industry or a governmentagency.
