. Demonstration of buckling is an essential tool to teach this concept andmake the subject more understandable. It would be very useful to establish the concept, anddemonstrate the effect of Modulus of elasticity, moment of inertia, length and fixity of themember to first year students without detailing Euler’s Critical Load formula. In addition,construction and design of this load frame is a very good project for mechanical and electricalengineering students. Two undergraduate students worked under supervision of a laboratorytechnician and a professor to design and construct a load frame for buckling tests. This paperdescribes the design and construction of a load frame for educational purposes.Design and Built The first step to designing the

. Research indicates that involving students in hands-onactivities can enhance STEM education and the overall quality of the learning experience 3 .STEM education exposes students to explore complex topics that can be reinforced through alaboratory experience. A positive hands-on laboratory experience can also have a significantimpact on retention in engineering students. Knight et al. identified an over 15% increase inretention when first year engineering students are exposed to a hands-on project-basedcurriculum 4 . Although the benefits of a hands-on laboratory experience are apparent, thesignificant cost of laboratory equipment can be prohibitive for some institutions 2 .Computer simulation has been shown to be an effective tool that can be a

A term long group project requires students todevelop, execute, and report on a measurement experiment of their own choosing. This course isdesigned to particularly prepare students for their senior year capstone design experience bygiving them practice in open ended projects and higher level analysis skills.

These courses are followed by other writing experiences more technical innature, including formal reports in laboratory courses and writing associated with the capstone de-sign experience. Many creative attempts have been made to improve writing frequency and qualityin academic programs.
