centerline of the bolts as well as increasing the longitudinal spacing from bolt to bolt. Teaching Point #3: Explain that AISC has minimum requirements for these distances to help minimize the impact of shear tearout failures, but engineers still need to calculate this limit state. Compare the geometry of the tearout strength member to the more typically spaced bearing strength member to show how small edge distances lead to tearout. Tell students these construction limits will be covered in the upcoming lesson(s) on bolt limit states.Now have the student volunteer place a thumb inside each of the edge bolt holes in the bearingstrength member and put the member into some tension- enough to cause some deformation

One of the first soil mechanicslaboratory manuals published in 1939 by William S. Housel at the University of Michiganillustrated a systematic and discrete approach of teaching by introducing important test methodscommon to soil mechanics1.As the 1950s emerged authors developed manuals where there is little change to the overallstructure and content in comparison to the first texts. Authors seem to have written theselaboratory manuals to accommodate the teaching strategies desired at each institution or toinclude regional

Studentsdid not receive grades at these milestone submissions. Instead, a detailed technical review of theplans for engineering content and compliance with code and course requirements is conducted,and students receive comments, which must be incorporated into the design for the followingsubmission(s). Students have the option to decline to comply with a comment, but must thendefend their designs and decisions with code references and sound engineering judgment.Students were required to work with each other as a team, and with other stakeholders to developthe

activities, living-learning communities, internships, etc.Research by Cech [33] characterized a culture of disengagement in engineering education. Thismight be expected to diminish commitment to sustainable engineering. However, educationalmodels such as Vanasupa et al.’s Four Domain Develop Diagram (4D) [34] indicate conditionsthat might impact affective domain learning, including social aspects of learning, motivation,context, and autonomy. Thus, it is difficult to predict how college might change students’attitudes toward sustainable engineering. Engineering students might become more or lessfavorable in their attitudes toward sustainable engineering, as a result of both formal curriculumand hidden curriculum.Research QuestionsGiven the new

: • Only 2 of nearly 100 students reported recognizing Simon and Garfunkel’s Bridge Over Troubled Water, even minutes into the song. In fact, few students admitted to even being familiar with the song. • Songs that had been covered and re-released were often recognized, but students could not identify the original artist. For example, Life is a Highway was associated with Rascal Flatts, and Big Yellow Taxi with multiple artists but not with Joni Mitchell (in fact, the closest students got was John Mitchell). • Even songs considered to be cultural touchstones by the instructor may not have been familiar with the students.

organization. Within thewriting pedagogy community, the advantages and disadvantages of explicit instruction have longbeen debated, with critics of direct instruction arguing that it "prevent[s] our students fromenacting what they know tacitly."14 However, in our experience, few students have any tacitknowledge of engineering workplace genres. If they are given an assignment that asks for anunfamiliar document type – such as a technical memorandum or a cover letter – they typicallysearch the internet for something with the same name. Rather than leaving them to search ontheir own, we believe it is appropriate for engineering courses to teach students about industrystandards for documents, just as it is appropriate to teach about standards for

on themusical bridges and seemed to be more engaged in the project than students in previous years.And females, in particular, seemed to prefer the musical bridges over a more traditional bridgeproject. The author plans to continue to use some variation on the musical bridge project forfuture solid mechanics courses. Questions, however, remain: did students find the musical aspectof the project more engaging or would another type of interdisciplinary project be just asengaging? Did the musical bridge project result is improved learning? Were students morecreative? Did their critical thinking skills improve? Future projects will attempt to explore thesequestions and more.ReferencesBarnard, S., Hassan, T., Bagilhole, B., Dainty. A. (2012
