Full Description
This innovative textbook presents the principles of engineering dynamics through the lens of classical mechanics of physics, while purposefully expanding its pedagogical scope to include culturally grounded examples relevant to the multicultural student body of Hawai'i culture and beyond. Drawing from original physics literature and emphasizing clarity in conceptual understanding, the book is designed to meet the academic rigor expected in engineering programs, while also addressing a critical and often overlooked question: Can a Western-engineered curriculum effectively teach students from diverse cultural and historical backgrounds? To answer this, the author integrates carefully selected examples from Native Hawaiian culture into each chapter—rigorously recontextualized within the scientific framework of engineering dynamics. These examples serve as a bridge between abstract physics principles and culturally meaningful experiences, offering students a more holistic and inclusive approach to learning. This book is a pioneering step toward a more culturally responsive engineering education, ideal for undergraduate students, instructors, and curriculum developers seeking to foster greater relevance, inclusivity, and engagement in STEM classrooms.
