Abstract: Statics is the foundation course upon which much of the Civil and Mechanical Engineering curriculum is based.A solid understanding in this course can help to propel students through their engineering studies.In this paper, we investigate the performance of students who took part in a "flipped" mastery based engineering Statics course.Compared to the tradition classroom, where students can pass by achieving an understanding of roughly 60 -70% of the course material, the mastery classroom focuses on achieving a full understanding of 100% of the course material.Instead of a distribution of grades, this type of course produces a distribution in the amount of time each student must spend on each topic.
