Additionally, the studies provide support that this approach to helping studentssystematically approach idea generation is successful with students from introductory coursesthrough capstone course and graduate design courses [17, 39-40].

The PIP uses a continuous improvement process similar to that used inengineering design, but now applied to the individual rather than to a product or process. Withthese attributes in mind, we believe the PIP is a best practice that could be adopted in anyengineering education. Whether it is at the department level, course level, or for special cohortssuch as honors programs, adaptation of the PIP can serve to benefit any engineering student inthe pursuit of her or his degree.6.

One of the reasons they determined this was important was the traffic ofstudents in the hallway. If the doors were not opened simultaneously, the amount of studentstrying to pass through the doors every class period would block the passage for the students withdisabilities.

Holes, excerpt (AISC, 2011)9. (Q2) Recalculate Anchor Bolt Diameters and Plate Thickness under Alternative Scenario. Students are asked to recalculate the bolt diameters and plate thickness under a new scenario in which the pole is assumed to undergo impact due to a collision with a truck. Using an equivalent static force V = 400 Kip as per AASHTO 201010 that represents an isolated special load of truck collision at the bottom of the post, students were required to design the number and diameter of anchor bolts based on a the equivalent direct lateral shear strength resisted by the bolt cross sections (Figure 2e), and the plate thickness using similar reasoning as above. For this case, Figure 2e. ASTM the maximum number of
