: Equivalence (C.A. 1), Couples & Equilibrium (C.A. 21)1 Common Errors: 6, 7, 10, 1117. A 200 N-mm couple acting counter- clockwise keeps the member in equilibrium while it is subjected to other forces acting in the plane (shown schematically at the left). The four dots denote equally spaced points along the members. Assuming the other forces stay the same, what load(s) could replace the 200 N-mm couple and maintain equilibrium?Analysis of Student Responses: Two of the five students responded with the correct answer E.These two students were able to identify that both the force and moment of the selected responseare equivalent to the given situation.Student A: “...it’s a couple moment because it has equal forces in opposite

to the most recent Science and Engineering Indicators report of the NationalScience Foundation (NSF), the percentages of all freshmen intending to major in engineeringor computer sciences dropped in recent years 4. Despite an increase in the numerous efforts to Page 14.968.2recruit and retain more engineering students, such as learning communities, mentoring, pre-college programs, the declines in engineering enrollment continues. Specifically, althoughwomen have outnumbered men in undergraduate education since 1982, they have earned onlyabout half of all S&E bachelor’s degrees since 2000 and less than one-fifth of engineeringdegrees 4

In particular, both programs list the eleven ABET student learningoutcomes, and they both include the additional program requirements ABET stipulates shouldaccompany electrical, computer, communications, telecommunication(s) and similarly named pro-grams.4 Furthermore, both programs have ABET accreditation.

The primaryteaching points are summarized in condensed form below. The lecture began by discussing the industrial revolution and the need for power sources to drive the machines which transformed our modern society. o Water wheels were replaced by generators and the electric motor, which is essentially a generator operated in reverse, began to drive the machines. o Wide-scale use of DC electric motors began in the late 1800’s. These motors take advantage of the properties of electric and magnetic fields. o Electric current flowing in a wire will

Wechose phototherapy because students all had some background in previous coursework related tolight, and because it was unlikely to give an advantage to any students as a problem inmechanical or electrical modeling might have.
