Given the blue prints for the building, they were expected to calculate thewind and snow loads expected in this location as well as the dead load of the structure itself. In asubsequent assignment the students were tasked with determining the distribution of forcesthrough the roof system and columns of the Tech Center due to these existing loads. For this taskthey were allowed to use the structural analysis software package, RISA. Figure 1 shows theforce distribution in a typical frame of the building as modelled by one of the structural analysisstudents.Figure 1. Axial forces (above with values in kips) and moments (below

Finally, we discuss the implications of MOOCs for engineering education in bothface-to-face and online formats, our recommendations for the development of MOOCs, thechallenges and limitations of our work here, and our plans for future research in this domain.1.

A dynamicmodel for the education of construction professionals in the area of pre-contract planning isdeveloped and tested via a controlled experiment. The model derives its foundation from theresearch of key theorists in the field of educational psychology, such as Ausubel, Gagne, andMezirow, taking a more constructivist approach. Key educational areas addressed in the modelare: risk mitigation, proactive scheduling, and behavioral considerations.

Traditionally, machines used in powerlaboratories run at standard line voltage which makes safety an issue requiring that theselaboratories be closely supervised.

2014.Nuclear-Pumped Laser (NPL) technology was a part of the strategic defense initiative (SDI)program in the 1980’s. NPLs have since faded from the United States research agenda but theyremain an active part of the research agenda in other countries, notably in Russia and othernations in the former Soviet Union as well as China [1] which has a cooperative agreement withRussia [2]. The reason for this broad interest in the technology is that a NPL can scale to highpower/energy levels (potentially up to 100 MW Continuous Wave (CW) beam power). Militaryapplications have historically dominated the NPL research agenda. However, there aresignificant humanitarian applications for high power/energy lasers.
