Designed and developed a series of content for the project Free Body Diagram App, to train students in the learning and practice of free-body diagram drawing skills for Statics or Mechanics courses.

 

FREE BODY DIAGRAM APP

 

Free Body Diagram App is a mobile application designed to help users develop and practice free-body diagram (FBD) drawing skills through engaging mini-games. The app features a variety of mini-games that focus on teaching and reinforcing the critical skills necessary for constructing FBDs, a foundational concept in engineering typically introduced in introductory Statics or Mechanics courses. It offers users asynchronous training opportunities, diverse tasks targeting specific FBD challenges, and multiple levels of immediate feedback to enhance learning and skill development.
