We assigned the homework to students through implementing failure theories in specific close-end problems. Students were required to extend these concepts in their open- ended design projects.The Part III: The design of mechanical elements included the following topics: Typical machine elements including: bolts, shaft and key systems, gearing theories, spur gear, and bearings. It was well known that the design of typical machine elements were not the simple application of the stress/ strain theory discussed in the mechanics of materials but rather the application of design procedures. The design procedures

These observations informed our categorizationof “Interactive Response” (IR) as a site of learning mediated by diverse interactions with bothpeople (instructors, peers, friends/family, clients) and symbolic artifacts (e.g., professional codesof ethics). In this conception of IR, we pick up on Hattie and Timperley’s broader notion offeedback as provided by multiple “agent[s]”[8] in response to a particular
