If the instructor can also demonstrate the instruments used for data collection, then use of such instruments in the RL problem will be covered. (2) S: Solve. The students work on the problem, they device a plan to solve the problem, and implement their plan. This would follow Polya’s four-step method of solving mathematical problems, thus reinforcing that concept. (3) R: Reflect. Students reflect on the problem, and they use information related to the RL problem to check if the values calculated are reasonable

While prior work has thoroughlyarticulated the technical issues in these flawed design criteria [1], [3], the present work aims tosupport formal study of how engineers recognize and treat variability, with an eye towardsunderstanding how the aforementioned flaws evaded notice for over a half-century.In this work, we present a novel theoretical framework and initial empirical results.

completionof an OER textbook was entirely altruistic. It is also a personal quest. As former students andnow educators, we have seen the cost of textbooks spiral out of control. We have also observedhow textbooks that were used as part of the education of the first author in the 1990’s, are stillmarketed several editions later with very little change in content, while still rising in cost. Withthat said, I immersed myself in this project to create an OER textbook with a sense of duty, assomething that needed to be done in order to help ease the burden of my students. What startedas a humble approach to publishing an OER soil mechanics laboratory manuscript, has flourishedinto a much more engaging and complete textbook by using commonly available

The planar linkage has sixkinematic links and seven kinematic joints with one degree of freedom [9]. Link 3-4 and 1-6 areprismatic joints (sliders). The rest are rotational joints. Since the mechanism has one degree offreedom, the kinematic quantality including position, velocity, and acceleration of the linkage canbe calculated from input crank link 2’s position and angular velocity and acceleration by kinematicanalysis. The forward and backward time ratio can be calculated from Equation (1). If an external force acts on link 6 slider, other links’ reactions and the input toque on thecrank can be found by kinetic analysis
