Abstract
Some students in our department are difficult to understand enough structure mechanics. We try to make and to operate the experience-typed educational tools for the basic structure engineering as one method of the solutions. Four kinds of tools are made and are used in the practice at the first semester in the second year. The first tools and the second tools can make these students study some items which they were not able to understand in the lecture, through experiences of a phenomenon. The third tool ties a two-dimensional drawing and a three-dimensional structure and rouses an image of a structure of a beam to students. The fourth tool makes them be interested in a structure of a support and a reaction force. These tools are expected to help them to understand fundamental structural mechanics, but combination with the lecture is indispensable.
