These photos were posted in a private album for each group on a photoannotation and organization website, accompanied by written explanations about what studentshad decided to photograph and why. As a second step to the project, students were to use theannotation tools on the website to mark up the photos provided by the other student(s) in theirgroup, graphically identifying which members were subjected to the various loading conditionsof tension, compression, bending, or shear, and identifying the directions in which the forces ormoments were applied. This first minor project allowed students to communicate a little bitabout themselves as they worked together, in addition to providing them with some simple butcritical experience

. Although the bracket appears to be a simplecomponent, accurately simulating its nonlinear behavior under loading is a challenging problemeven for upper-division undergraduate engineering students.BackgroundAdditive Manufacturing (AM) is a computer-automated process in which objects are built up,generally layer-by-layer, by the addition of material. Since its invention in the mid 1980’s, AM(also called rapid prototyping) has advanced in both materials and processes. Early AM usedmostly polymer-based materials and was employed mostly for design conceptualization and formand fit checking. More recently, advances in processes and materials have led to a greatexpansion in the usage of AM to include the direct fabrication of functional products across

twosentences that the intention is to ‘understand how a steel, circular bar, loaded under torsion,behaves until failure.’For the second section of improvement, the preceding lab manual mostly contained experimentalprocedures in paragraph format, as shown in Figure 2, which made it difficult for students to followand understand. Thus, the authors decided to reformat the procedures in a numbering, hierarchicalscheme such that each step would be followed accordingly (Figure 3). This modificationeliminated the need of having to search in multiple paragraphs for necessary information anddeciding what to implement. In addition, the revised manual specified exactly the type of table(s)needed for recording experimental data. This allowed students to include

Swithenbank, S. B., and DeNucci, T. W.AbstractA flipped classroom approach was applied to a select number of topics in a sophomore levelundergraduate Newtonian dynamics course. Although the theory and benefits of the flippedclassroom model are discussed, the primary focus of this paper is to present the approach and thepractical implementation of using this model. Advantages, such as student retention and reducedfaculty tutoring, are discussed, as well as disadvantages, such as the investment of time neededfor making the videos and the amount of time needed to learn the software. Lastly, best practicesand lessons from the experience are shared.Background and TheoryIn recent years the concept of the flipped classroom has gained popularity and has been
