Presentation Transcript

  1. The Emporium Model – Statics Redesign – Anthony J. Vizzini Bill and Carolyn Cobb Chair and Head Aerospace Engineering

  2. Statics Redesign • Mississippi State University, Starkville, MS • Engineering Mechanics I (Statics) • Fall 08 – 195 (7 sections) • Spring 09 -111 (4 sections) • Traditional lecture (3 hrs) • Improved performance in Statics • Improved performance in subsequent mechanics (Dynamics, Mechanics of Matls) • Improved performance in discipline (retention, time to degree)

  3. What is Statics Foundation course in engineering Equilibrium of forces and moments (similar to mechanics portion of Physics) Introduction to the engineering approach to understanding Strong indicator of a student’s future success

  4. Who Takes Statics Foundation course in mechanics-based engineering disciplines – Aerospace, Civil, Mechanical Others require – Biological, Chemical, Industrial Optional – Electrical Not used – Computer,Computer Science, Software

  5. Emporium Model Mathematics – “Students learn by doing” Statics – “Draw the picture, write down the answer” Fundamental concepts are relatively easy to grasp, require practice to master Note: Bagley College of Engineering has a laptop requirement

  6. Emporium Implementation Reversal of content and practice Make use of students’ laptops Peer-to-peerassistance Hands-onexperiments Reinforcelearningexperience

  7. Mississippi State University

  8. Contacts – MSU/Statics
