Enhancing Diversity in the Undergraduate Mechanical Engineering Population through Curriculum Change

The ‘Real Life Examples’ series provide skeletal lesson plans using the principle of the 5Es: Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate and Evaluate.

They are designed to be used by instructors and are written in a style that addresses the instructor, however this is not intended to exclude students who should find the notes and examples interesting, stimulating and hopefully illuminating, particularly when their instructor is not utilizing them!
