using iMechanica in teaching Engineering Mechanics
Why iMechanica?
iMechanica is an appropriate website for teaching/learning Engineering Mechanics for the following reasons:
Scalar and vector quantities
Scalars are quantities that have magnitude only; they are independent of direction.
Vectors have both magnitude and direction. The length of a vector represents magnitude. The arrow shows direction.

Forces and Newton's laws of motions
First
An object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

Call for Minisymposia and Sessions at EM08
If you are a faculty member on the tenure-track or a post-doc it's a good idea to chair a few minisymposia at conferences to buttress your resume. Here's an opportunity for you:
