is also asked to verify FEA results withclosed-form calculations wherever possible. For example, plate theory4 shows the maximumnormal stress, S, around a hole can be calculated using: qRo 2 F7 S t2Where q = applied pressure, Ro = outer radius, t = plate thickness and F7 is a stress factor basedon the geometry of the plate. In addition to hand calculations, the student responsible for the structural analysis(student “A”), is asked to defend the accuracy of his or her FE analysis. Students are encouragedto report structural error and explore submodeling techniques on the crown plate. For example,Figure 5 shows submodeling on the crown plate a student performed to validate the accuracy ofhis FE model

Module 2 Set-UpModule 2 Assignment:Module 2 assignment can be developed to teach the concept of continuity equation. Thecontinuity equation is based on the principle of volumetric fluid flow (Q) staying same throughthe pipe even though the diameter of the pipe changes. The calculation of the volumetric fluidflow is shown as[15]: Q  v1 A1  v2 A2v1 and v2  Velocities at Diameters 1 and 2 A1, A2  Cross sectional areas at diameters 1 and 2 Figure 4.

havebeen on Tuesdays. Those Tuesday slots were converted to “open office hours”, in that theinstructor would be available in the classroom, with OLI access, to answer questions. The OLImodule quizzes (typically two each week) were scheduled to straddle the Tuesday Q&A and theThursday recitation sessions. This provided convenient opportunities every week for thestudents to get answers to their questions shortly after each OLI quiz.The students were required to buy the two textbooks used in previous years. One was atraditional statics textbook; the other was an economical book of distilled concepts and workedproblems. The students had required readings from both books, aligned with each module.Assigned homework problems came from both textbooks
