AB  -                Just-in-Time Approach to Integrate a Design Project into                              Mechanics of Materials        This paper presents an approach developed and used by the authors to integrate a designproject into an introductory undergraduate mechanics of materials course using a just-in-timeapproach. One project that has been used in the past involves the hoist structure shown in thefigure below. The hoist is used to lift an object of weight W and is assembled with smooth pins andis symmetric about the XY plane. The hoist structure will be manufacturer in several models, eachwith a different maximum lifting capacity and overall dimension, but all with the same basicconfiguration. The manufacturer also offers the option of custom capacity and size of the basicdesign. Problems that are solved throughout our course and in the design project are based on allequations being formulated in symbolic form. One major advantage is that symbolic equations canbe solved for any problem type. Furthermore, the design process requires solving many differentproblems to obtain a satisfactory design. Each problem can have different known and unknownvariables.         The design project shown below involves all or almost all topics, covered in an introductoryundergraduate mechanics of materials course. The design project is divided into the following sixphases: 1. force analysis; 2. pin connection stress analysis; 3. initial design of pins and members; 4.initial design of structure stiffness; 5. beam design and refined structure stiffness, and; 6. columnanalysis. The background required to complete each phase is based on the material covered up tothat point in the course. After a topic is covered in class, reinforced through homework andclassroom quizzes, the phase related to the topic area is assigned. After the second, fourth and sixthphases are completed, students are given the complete solution up to that phase.
