The paper also included an example from their own experience of failedcomponents and possible explanation(s) of that failure, using engineering principles previouslydiscussed in class. One goal of that assignment was to allow the students to use their limitedunderstanding of engineering principles and apply that to the cause(s) of these failures. Animportant aspect of this assignment was to have students appreciate that failed engineeringdesigns can lead to improved products. Advances in technology are often the result of analyzingearlier failures. While engineering failure is not celebrated in this course, it is

The coursewas taught in the spring semester of 2000 to a class of undergraduates and master’s students.In addition to this course in microcontrollers, computer technology is integrated into a number ofour undergraduate mechanical engineering courses.

This paper describes one experiment that introduces fundamental structuralengineering concepts through a simple beam test. A load is applied at the center of a beam usingweights, and the resulting midspan deflection is measured. The elastic stiffness of the beam isdetermined and compared to published values for various beam materials and cross sectionalshapes. Beams can also be tested to failure. This simple and inexpensive experiment provides auseful springboard for discussion of important engineering topics such as elastic and inelasticbehavior, influence of materials and structural shapes, stiffness, strength, and failure modes.Background engineering concepts are

But just over 100 years ago, womenwere not formally admitted at all to doctoral programs at any university in the United States.Although they weren’t officially accepted into graduate school at that time, many women didfind ways to get in, usually as “special” or nondegree students. In 1870, for example, EllenSwallow Richards applied to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for a graduate degree inchemistry. She was admitted, but as a special student who was seeking a second bachelor’sdegree (her first one was from Vassar). MIT, it was argued, didn’t want its first graduatechemistry degree

These differ substantially in relevance to and usefulness in support of undergraduate research. Professional disciplinary organizations are typically organized in at least two dimensions, of which theone is local operational function and the other professional sub-discipline. Because the engineering profession iscentered primarily in industry, where Continuing Education in technology and/or management is the primary toolfor members’ career development, Education and Career Development are often a combined local function.

Additional challenges tothose developing course specific CIMS are twofold: 1) making the content interesting tostudents; and 2) incorporating features that are very difficult or even impossible to demonstratein textbooks or on the chalkboard.The focus of this paper is on the CIMS developed for the first course in engineering mechanics,commonly known as Statics (EM 2413), taught at Mississippi State University. Of the ninedifferent degree programs offered in the college of engineering, only students in ComputerScience and Computer Engineering are exempt from taking Statics. Students in Chemical,Electrical, and Industrial Engineering take Statics without it being a prerequisite to any othercourse in their degree programs
