AB  - This study focused on enhancing student learning in the gateway engineering dynamics course by modifying the instructional design and incorporating hands-on learning activities. This research targeted Mechanical Engineering (ME) undergraduate students, for whom ME 252: Engineering Dynamics is a required foundational course. The research goals were to improve students’ understanding of engineering dynamics principles, increase the passing rate in ME 252, and prepare them for higher-level courses. While being a prerequisite course, the ME 252 course serves as a key building block in developing the ME students’ understanding of Fluid Mechanics, Computational & Experimental Methods, and Control Systems in the ME curriculum. Thus, for students to enjoy success throughout the ME curriculum, they must develop a solid understanding in ME 252 as it is one of the foundational engineering specific courses to which ME students are exposed. The need to improve their understanding is crucial because every semester, nearly 25% of the students in ME 252 earn a “D”, “F”, or “W” grade and must repeat the class. Moreover, statistics from the past several semesters showed that on average, 30% of students in ME 252 earn a “C” grade, which means that these students leave the course with an incomplete knowledge of how to connect theoretical concepts to applications in dynamics. Therefore, during the first day of class, the importance of ME 252 as a prerequisite to other ME courses is explained, emphasizing how the course’s key concepts are used in future courses. Also, the hands-on learning methodology and the upcoming problem-solving approach were outlined on the first day of class. These new approaches to teaching the dynamics course were followed through the remainder of the semester, and students’ feedback was collected and analyzed at the end. The results indicate that using such pedagogical approaches has yielded a positive effect on student performance and will thus be repeated/evaluated in the ME 252 course in the subsequent semesters for continuous improvement.
