Engineering Mechanics: adoption of project-based learning supported by computer-aided online adaptive assessments - overcoming fundamental issues with a fundamental subject

Engineering Mechanics is widely acknowledged in the literature as a subject where students experience great difficulty in understanding and applying threshold concepts, which often results in high failure rates. To address this, we introduced two new complementary assessments: a practical design pro...
