Hello Engineering Statics Professors,

I am teaching Statics in January after a few year gap for this class, and I am looking forward to using your open source textbook. Thank you!

Also, I recently experimented with dropping screen captures of statics problems into an AI chat. Wow! The results are amazing. My plan is to teach students how to use AI to help with learning and solving homework problems. Otherwise there will be a huge discrepancy between students who know how and students who do not.  I'm planning to then have more frequent in class quizzes and exams to provide the basis for their grades. 

Do you have stories or suggestions related to how AI has impacted your method(s) of teaching Statics?

Thank you,

Hi Cheri, 

I'm keen to learn about your approaches to teaching students how to utilise AI for learning, particularly in engineering mechanics, and about your experiences with this. 

Kind regards,
