Although structural analysis software is often introduced and taughtin these classes to explain these concepts, fundamental behaviors such as elastic

as an analysis toolwith thoughts similar to this: “If engineers are confident in their assumed or measured blastforce and blast profile, Newmark’s Method provides engineers with an extremely accurate wayto predict a structure’s response to a blast load.” Thus, a primary goal of the laboratory wasreached: to demonstrate the benefits of numerical time-stepping procedures in dynamic responsecalculation.Comparison of experimental and numerical results was the focus of this lab, but analytical resultscould – and probably should – be included to provide a complete picture. After reflecting on thelab, the instructor offered the students a comparison with the analytical approaches to estimatingresponse to blast loads in the following lecture period

Instead of recordingperformance on each assessment as a single score, we look for and track demonstrations of masteryobjective by objective.

After reflection onhow these ratios may affect buckling behavior, students induced two buckling scenarios bypressing on the top of the model to simulate a concentrated axial load as shown in Figure 3. Thefirst scenario involves a completely unbraced length, in which the column buckles along theweak axis in single curvature. The second scenario involves bracing along the weak axis at mid-height, in which the column will

Interleaved practice helps studentsdiscriminate between various kinds of problems and learn the appropriate method for each one. Itrequires that students organize tasks and solution methods. Therefore, during interleaved practicestudents are practicing two things: the skill being taught as well as the skill of identifying whichsolution method should be used [5]. Interleaved practice naturally covaries with distributedpractice. Therefore, some of the benefits of interleaved practice may reflect the benefits ofdistributed practice, such as practice pulling from

Thus, infrastructure systems frequently lack social justice which leads to anunbalanced influence on different populations through different mechanisms, such as eviction,exposure to environmental danger, and access to necessary services. Even while engineers andpolicymakers base their decisions on technical and engineering factors, social and racialdisparities are exacerbated by stakeholders' choices, which reflect current economic and politicalframeworks [8].

Given the skewness of the grades, around 58% of the students performed higher than theaverage score on the exam.
