This section presents some of the teaching experiences that colleagues and I have implemented in the Mechanics of Solids and Statics courses at UIS. Please feel free to contact me at josbenro@uis.edu.co for more details. Below you can find some videos I have prepared for my Statics and Mechanics of Solids courses:
(2025 - 2026) TESTING BALSA-WOOD TRUSSES - Statics (Profs. Orlando Arroyo and José M. Benjumea)
(2025 - 2026) TESTING BALSA-WOOD TRUSSES - Statics (Profs. Orlando Arroyo and José M. Benjumea)
(2024 - 2025) LET'S BUILD STABLE TRUSSES - Statics (Prof. José M. Benjumea)

(2020) CHARACTERIZING WOOD BEAMS tested at home during the COVID-19 pandemic - Solid Mechanics (Profs. David Cotes and José M. Benjumea)
(2019) Torsion tests USING A IN-HOUSE DEVELOPED TORSIOMETER - Solid Mechanics (Profs. David Cotes and José M. Benjumea)
(2019) Torsion tests USING A IN-HOUSE DEVELOPED TORSIOMETER - Solid Mechanics (Profs. David Cotes and José M. Benjumea)
Undergrad students conducted torsion experiments using an in-house designed and built torsiometer that allowed them to determine the shear modulus of several materials. The displacement data was captured using cell phones. The students post-processed the data using a Digital Image Correlation free software (GOM Correlate). The best works were selected to participate in the 2020 Encuentro Internacional de Educación en Ingeniería ACOFI.
