"Research on student understanding of engineering statics: The development of instructional materials to improve student understanding of center of mass"
Year: 2025
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: University students who have studied physics at the introductory level and beyond are often unable to apply basic concepts from mechanics to account for the motion of an extended object.Findings from an in-depth, systematic investigation were used to guide the design of curriculum to address the underlying conceptual and reasoning difficulties.Ongoing assessment was an integral part of the development cycle.The instructional sequence that evolved from this iterative process has proved effective in helping students learn to apply basic concepts from mechanics to extended objects in equilibrium.
