. Figure 2: simplified suspension system modelThe force in a spring is its constant multiplied by its displacement and the force in a hydraulicsystem is the damping of the hydraulic system multiplied by velocity. Based on these facts, theequation of motion for the system of figure 2 is as shown in equation (1). m(d2xo/dt) + c(dxo/dt – dxi/dt) + k(xo – xi)= 0 (1)Rearranging equation (1) and applying the Laplace transform formulas put equation (1) in theform shown in equation (2). [2] (mS2 + cS + k) Xo(S) = (cS + k)Xi(S) (2)The transfer function of a control system is defined as the output of the system divided by theinput of the system in

equations. The same control system can bestable or unstable depending on the input parameters into the system. Stability or lack of stabilityof a control system can theoretically be determined by solving the control system differentialequation(s). The differential equation(s) can be solved numerically. A numerical solution of adifferential equation produces numbers that can be plotted but not an expression. The differentialequations can also be solved by classical differential equation techniques. The classicaldifferential equation solution techniques can be supplemented by using Laplace Transform andusing the MATLAB software to expedite the Laplace Transform formulations. Damping level(s)in a vibrating system greatly influence the stability level

. Figure 3: A one dimensional deformed barSince the bar element is developed by using the same deflection technique as a spring,assemblage of a number of finite elements that are based on bar formulation is done by the sametechnique that is used for assembling a number of spring elements.Bar elements are used for modeling truss assemblies. In a truss, various truss elements can forman angle with the global coordinates as shown in figure 4. Figure 4: A bar element making an angle θ with X axis of global coordinate systemThe global stiffness matrix relating global forces to global displacements for the element shownin figure 5 is given in equation (13).

Task Load Index was adopted tomeasure the problem rigor. This paper will compare textbook and YouTube problems with respectto problem-solving ability and at each stage of problem solving. Furthermore, we will investigatewhether disparities exist in students’ perceptions when solving VLE problems. 2MethodsProblems considered in the current study represent part of homework sets completed by studentsin a MEB course. We considered three problems from the VLE topic — one Textbook homework(traditional homework problem) and two YouTube problems (see S.1 for problem statements).The intervention constituted of a group of 182 students (40% females) across two academic yearsfrom a large public university

Suggest ways(s) in which the course could be improved (if any). 3. Briefly describe what you thought was the most important thing you learned in this course.For the first question, 3 out of the 6 responses were related to the final project; “Group Labreports and the final project for the semester”, “The project was very beneficial because we gotto apply what we were learning to a real-world application”, “Labs, assignments, and Finalproject”.For the second question there was no comment related to the final project.For the last question, four out of the six comments were
