Abstract

Design of a Flipped Classroom Structure for Engineering Mechanics of MaterialsTeaching fundamentals of engineering Mechanics of Materials (also calledStrengths of Materials) is challenging as a semester long course becausethere nine chapters of required content. This article discusses new flippedclassroom methods and survey results implemented in the spring of 2015 atSalt Lake Community College. The flipped classroom we are proposinguses lecture videos, which students are to review outside of class, to presenttheoretical principles and simple examples; this allows for more class time tospend working on more complicated applications.These videos allow students another way to see theoretical principles prior tolecture. Students can play the videos multiple times before lecture so theyare better prepared interact with other students in class. We anticipate thesetechniques will increase the efficiency of materials presented in class andenable more advanced topics to be covered.In addition to standard teaching evaluations the flipping techniques will beevaluated based on an extensive array of at least ten survey questions. Thesequestions will ask students for numerical reflective evaluations on theirlearning and retention of class materials. The teaching evaluations will alsobe compared to prior semesters were flipping techniques were not used.
