In the 2000’s Steif and Dollár[8] suggested and then later showed[9] that thecombination of in-class conceptual questions and hands-on physical demonstrations in a Staticsclass resulted in high learning gains.

Finally, every seminar andevery piece of training literature should be reviewed with the specific awareness ofconsidering people of all races, genders and background.Clearly, this is not the final solution to a field that continues to evolve very quickly, but itrepresents a good start.

For engineers alone, this value has risen from 2.11% of the U.S. population in 2005 to2.71% in 2018 [17]. Additionally, the number of people connected to technology continues toincrease, as previously cited herein. It is therefore the authors’ assessment that the size of thepopulation of those involved with or affected by technology has both increased and become moremultidisciplinary.A study of the diversity portion of this prediction indicates that diversity has increased slightlyamong the U.S. science and engineering (S&E) workforce, although women and

On the theoretical side, the most acknowledged achievements are traced back toTimeshenko [4] who used differential equations to show that as the loading of a columnapproached Euler buckling, the frequency of the first mode approaches zero. Recently Carpinteri[5] presented a solution using potential energy that is well-tailored to student understanding. Hisderivation uses a single degree-of-freedom system similar to that shown in
