Something Old, Something New: Integrating Engineering Practice into the Teaching of Engineering Mechanics.
Miller, Gregory R.; Cooper, Stephen C.
Journal of Engineering Education, v84 n2 p105-15 Apr 1995
Presents a multifaceted method for teaching engineering mechanics to satisfy several desiderata. This approach includes design projects, group work, basic competency exams, computational environments for simulating and visualizing phenomena, multimedia instructional tools, hands-on experiences, and student presentations. Describes the materials and techniques that make up the method, which has been used in sophomore-level mechanics of materials courses. (Author/PVD)
