),Historically Black Colleges and Universities Undergraduate Program (HBCU-UP), andLouis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (LSAMP) Program. In spite of theincrease of these programs, research on their impact is required. The potential thatmaterials based solutions hold for global challenges such as in energy and aerospace isundisputed. Therefore, it is imperative to groom undergraduate engineering and sciencestudents with a broad-based materials science and engineering background, in order tomaintain technological leadership position of the US in the 21st century.While undergraduate research has received substantial attention from funding agencies 1and

and Mechanics of Materials are corecourses for many engineering majors such as civil, mechanical, aerospace, architectural, andmetallurgical engineering. These courses are also part of programs such as environmental,manufacturing, nuclear, and petroleum engineering. Fig. 1. Screenshot of the Secpro appThe engineering mechanics courses introduce students to the analysis and design of basicstructural components of engineering machines and structures such as airplane, automobile,spacecraft, bridge, power plant, residential or commercial building etc. The engineering mechaniccourses are aimed at developing the student’s ability in analyzing the equilibrium of loads instationary or moving objects and analyzing the

, a list was compiledwith gender, race, and ethnicity noted. The general population was broken into five subsections:1) Aerospace Engineering 2) Bioengineering and Mechanical Engineering 3) Chemical andPetroleum Engineering 4) Civil, Environmental, and Architectural Engineering 5) ElectricalEngineering, Computer Science, and Engineering Physics. Within each of these subsections, afirst-, second-, third-, and fourth-year student was randomly selected. Any students enrolled in acourse taught by a member of the research team were excluded.After the 20 selections were made, the set of participants was reviewed for diversity in terms ofgender, race, and ethnicity to ensure that the sample was representative of the SOE population.

Enrolled students are mostly sophomores andjuniors who have passed Statics and Calculus III as prerequisites. The number of enrolledstudents in each semester is summarized in Table 1.In the pilot semester, e.g. Fall 2015, the active learning technique was tested as a prototype withjust five practice problems, mostly offered in the last quarter of the sixteen week course.Following the successful pilot of the technique, more in-class practice problems were offered insubsequent semesters. Table 1 shows the number of in-class practice

dragging effect of slowing the motion and require more power. The group has found that a joint clearance of 0.05 mm gave the mechanism better resultsin terms of output displacement, smoothness of velocity and acceleration profiles.4. Poster Abstract Garett Foster and Lucas Utley (Oklahoma State University – Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, USA)Thrust test stands are commonly used to test rocket motors and engines, but often they are designed to test a single motor size or type and lack the ability to be transported easily.Presented here are the design and operation of a mobile thrust test stand used for static testing solid and hybrid-fuel rocket motors of varying sizes and thrust levels. Applications for thestand, include use for
