"At the beginning of each semester, I always tell my students the story of my undergraduate Mechanics of Materials experience. While I somehow managed to make an A in the course, Mechanics of Materials was one of the most confusing courses in my undergraduate curriculum. As I continued my studies, I found that I really didn't understand the course concepts well, and this weakness hindered my understanding of subsequent design courses. It wasn't until I began my career as an engineer that I began to relate the Mechanics of Materials concepts to specific design situations. Once I made that real-world connection, I understood the design procedures associated with my discipline more completely and I developed confidence as a designer. My educational and work-related experiences convinced me of the central importance of the Mechanics of Materials course as the foundation for advanced design courses and engineering practice"--
