To Henry and All,
To Henry and All,Regarding to Henry's distinguish idea about Teaching Mechanics in iMechanica, I am wondering is it an Mechanical topic or an Education one, or even a Management Strategy? The same phenomenon does not only exist in Mechanics education but also in all engineering fields.
Why we struggle Engineering teaching?

On the assessment method. Thanks for many feedbacks. I will review them with you in the class.
Survey on the grading system. Survey sheet attached.

When emailing the lecture-note to imechanica [at] gmail.com (imechanica[at]gmail[dot]com) with the subject title as Lecture 1, please also put your information in the text message: Name, University ID, and Aerospace/Mechanical Engineering. Thanks.
1. Cross product of two vectors
2. Equilibrium of many-particle system
What is the purpose of the course?
Ensure students have a clear working understanding of the principles of engineering mechanics and an ability to apply them to simple engineering systems.
Brief description of the unit
• Scalar and vector quantities.
• Forces and Newton's laws of motions.
• Kinematics of a particle; co-ordinate systems.
Introduction (27/9, Thursday, 11-12am)
Survey (28/9, Friday, 3-4pm)
Dear fellows,
A short note to let you know that I have now three Ph.D. positions available to fill between now and March 2008 (sonner=better) (Students from the EU only -- fully funded).
