N1 - Funding Information:
For concept-based instruction to be scaled up, a large repository of questions that can be broadly and efficiently deployed is needed. To this end, the authors are part of a project currently funded by NSF to expand the Concept Warehouse (CW), an existing online depository of concept questions called “ConcepTests” (initially developed for Chemical Engineering topics), to build new ConcepTests for Statics, Dynamics, and Mechanics of Materials. The CW can be used to develop and deploy questions to students via multiple modalities (in class, at home, online, offline, etc.), and it is also relatively easy for instructors to create their own questions nearly in real time. To date, approximately 140 Statics questions have been developed, and will expand to about 200 by the time of the Conference & Expo. A summary of question design philosophy, scope, and examples are provided in this paper, which will focus primarily on the implementation in engineering mechanics statics courses.

N2 - Students studying basic mechanics are extremely diverse in their mechanics preparation and many struggle with introductory concepts. Historical problem solving methods utilized in studying and learning often times leads to memorization of a process, overlooking the fundamental building blocks necessary for follow on courses. Just as all students are diverse and do not learn in the same manner, instructors vary in their resources and teaching beliefs (Koretsky et al. 2019).
