This paper describes the use of design projects in an introductory mechanics of materials course at the United States Military Academy. These projects serve to reinforce topics taught in the classroom and to introduce students to the engineering design process with their first hands-on design experience. Three representative examples of actual projects are presented. Students’ end-of-course assessments are used to validate the effectiveness of the projects.
