AC 2007-994: USING ENGINEERING MATHEMATICS TO LEARNSTRUCTURAL ANALYSISShane Palmquist, Western Kentucky University Page 12.1545.1© American Society for Engineering Education, 2007 Using Engineering Mathematics to Learn Structural AnalysisAbstractEngineering students by the junior year are required to be proficient in mathematics. At thisstage, the students have taken many of the introductory STEM (Science, Technology,Engineering, and Mathematics) courses. However, many students do not see nor appreciate therelevance of their mathematics courses to their major field of study. Beginning in structuralanalysis and in fluid mechanics in the junior year, the need for students to

‚ Tasks should be factually and conceptually correct (in an effort to avoid initiating or perpetuating misconceptions or oversimplifications of scientific concepts)Task 1: Wound Healing for Patterns, Functions, and Algebraic ThinkingThe first task developed and presented, “Wound Healing”, was carefully crafted to be pairedwith the MEC Patterns, Functions, and Algebraic Reasoning course, and to fall within theconstraints listed above. The application of science and math can take many forms, includinginnovative solutions to enhance wound healing, the topic of the first engineering task presented.This topic comes from the discipline of Biomedical Engineering, which is defined as theapplication of engineering principles and technology to the

federal funding has been allocated towards preparing ourstudents, teachers, and future professionals in the areas of science, technology, engineering, andmathematics (STEM)2. Much of the research associated with this funding has focused on K-12education and more specifically with increasing student achievement in STEM areas beginningin Kindergarten. This growing concern to increase student achievement has resulted in a pushfor practitioners to utilize what has been termed, inquiry instruction, in the classroom. The term inquiry has been used in numerous journal articles, textbooks, pre-serviceeducation courses, and professional development workshops. The National Research Councilidentified the use of inquiry as an integral part of
