- 41. Structures II Midterm Success! Failure.

- This is what we want our students to think when they leave our course.
- Students may come from very diverse backgrounds and may not have any previous experience with engineering, architecture, or the construction industry.
- Do not take teaching skills for granted. It is difficult to manage an effective classroom.
- Long classes present a major challenge.
- Students will loose focus after about 15 minutes. Change activities frequently. Don’t be afraid to go back to an activity that was working well, as a way to reinforce concepts.
- Try to engage each student. Don’t let the teacher’s pet dominate. Find ways of letting the students self-police those not paying attention.
- Divide and conquer.
- Make sure that all students participate in group work. Provide incentive for leaders to demand participation of their teammates.
- Everybody makes mistakes at the blackboard. Don’t feel overwhelmed or put on the spot. Engage the students and encourage them to be active participants in your lectures.
- Don’t set unrealistic expectations. Understand the difficulty of the material for beginners. Focus on concepts over number crunching.
- Focus your lessons on these four points.
- Vocabulary is very important. Be careful about using engineering jargon before explaining what if means. Don’t take any terms for granted.
- Basic concepts are easy to illustrate with fun graphics and demonstrations
- Ask students to compute the density of a material by weighing and measuring a sample.
- Throw in a location, see how they adjust for the change in gravity. Give some other examples of design live loads and ask students to interpolate other scenarios from them.
- Find creative ways to get students out of their seats on occasion. Ask them to make decisions in class and get immediate feedback.
- Many students believe that engineering is all about looking up the right equation is some massive volume. Break that stereotype and emphasize concepts. Be prepared to give reasons for every part of an equation that you put up on the board.
- Students love real examples. Attempt to use lots of visuals. Take them for a walk and point out all the structure. A walking tour is probably the easiest class you can prepare for.
- Ask them to make the kinds of decisions that you do. Encourage them to consider the effects of architectural decisions on structure.
- Computer programs can help illustrate concepts, but don’t get too carried away. These are best when each student is able to work in the program individually. Be ware of software glitches and OS conflicts.
- In less than an hour students can be designing realistic bridges. It’s a real winner (but only for PC).
- If you’re going to break samples, have the students assist in creating the specimines.
- Design challenges really energize the class. The students will remember these lessons.
- Do not underestimate the value of a good text book. Many students are eager to have a reference that they can thumb through (even the Millenials). Students rarely check out the websites that you recommend.
- ASCE has some fantastic resources for outreach and teaching to pre-college students. Email outreach@asce.org or go to http://www.asce.org/kids
- Be clear on your requirements. Students will try to take advantage of poor instructions. Expect messy work unless you set a strong policy up front for neatness.
