ALPs Activities for Engineering Education
The purpose of this page is to disseminate and provide access to a number of ALPs developed for topics in Engineering Education. These ALPs are intended for both students and instructors. At this time, the topics on this web page include: Mechanics of Materials, Machine Elements, Mechanical Engineering Design Methodology, and DTEACh K-12. Many of these ALPs were developed under a CCLI grant from the National Science Foundation, Award Number: DUE-0442614.
Mechanics of Materials ALPs
These ALPs include hands-on active learning activities for mechanics of materials topics. These activities are based on a Methodology for Developing Hands-on Active Learning Activities, a systematic approach for efficient and effective activity development, and were robustly evaluated at three institutions of higher learning. These institutions include a research university, a four-year primarily teaching institution and a community college.
Student ALPS
Active Learning Products for direct student use inside or outside the classroom.
Instructor Resources
Resources for instructors using the Mechanics of Materials ALPs. These resources include mechanics of materials ALPs with example results and supporting instructor notes. This portion of the web site is password protected. Any instructor wishing access to these resources may contact Professor Dan Jensen (dan.jensen@usafa.edu) or Professor Kristin L. Wood (wood@mail.utexas.edu) to obtain the username and password for these materials.
