Courseware for Problem Solving in Mechanics of Materials
Overview Basic courses such as mechanics of materials focus on principles and methods, which students can apply to a variety of new situations. This ability to transfer learning and knowledge is dependent on many factors, including the depth of the initial learning. Many factors affect the depth of initial learning, such as, learning for understanding rather than memorizing facts, time on task, and having deliberate practice with ample feedback. Moreover, it can be argued that students benefit from the experience of expertise in a few areas, even if at the expense of some breadth of exposure.
