Description: Boresi and Schmidt have developed Engineering Mechanics: Statics and Engineering Mechanics: Dynamics around the SQ3R learning methodology. They present the technical principles of mechanics within the framework of a learning methodology that enables readers to better grasp, understand, and retain the material. The SQ3R method is a structured approach that directs the reader to develop a global view of the course material (one chapter at a time), to organize the material into manageable pieces, to read each piece for content and comprehension, and, finally, to review the material as a coherent whole.
-- Effective learning aids reinforce the topical presentation in each chapter.
-- "A Look Forward" begins the chapter perspective on the material.
-- Survey Questions get individuals started with SQ3R reading.
-- Learning Objectives are performance-related statements in the beginning of chapter sections.
-- Use of computers: Specific problems which can be solved by a computation program are presented in selected instances.
