I. Introduction
Teaching of Engineering Mechanics has always been a challenge, especially when the students are not motivated because they prefer other subjects in their studies. In our experience, Architecture students enrolled in Structural Engineering courses sometimes lack motivation and miss several sessions because of their Architectural Projects courses, resulting in stressful days prior to the final examinations. In our university, Architecture students and Civil Engineering students take the same courses of Mechanics of Structures and the professor has to face a mixed class of students with different motivation levels.
