analytic techniques areexcellent. However, while the analysis is appropriate for undergraduates, many of theapplications are focused on higher-level structural design. There are two, much older, referencesonline that offer a more focused undergraduate presentation, the 1906 “Text Book on GraphicalStatics” 4, a thesis for the “Degree of Civil Engineer” (M.S.) from the University of Illinois, byCharles Wesley Malcom and the “Graphical Analysis, A textbook on Graphic Statics"5, byWilliam S. Wolfe, 1921. Both books look more at forces and equilibrium than design, makingthem more appropriate for topics in Statics for undergraduate mechanical and civil engineeringstudents. Additionally, a detailed explanation and illustrations of force and funicular

presenting the total externalwork and total strain energy equations beginning first with a single load P applied to a planartruss with one load sequence. Then loads P and Q are applied using two load sequences in whichthe load Q is applied at the location and in the direction of the desired displacement. From thisbasis of understanding, an additional load S is included in both load sequences to discuss itsinfluence on the displacement expression. This leads to a general understanding of the influencethat any number of additional loads would have on the displacement expression, and that theeffect of the load Q remains unchanged as these loads are applied. It then becomes evident thatBarry T. Rossonthe desired displacement due to all the applied loads

With the leaky connections, theerrant dynamic pressure and velocity measured about 6 mm of water and 10 m/s, respectively.Thus, their digital measurement device appeared in every way to be working properly, but if thestudents took the effort to convert their pressure measurement to a velocity measurement, theymay realize that the velocity they were measuring was too low, which admittedly may requiresome amount of intuition that the students probably do not yet have.Because the exercise involves questions of accuracy, the students were also asked to assess theuncertainty in their measurements.

ENER 240 shouldprovide the students with an opportunity to review applied mechanics course(s) they hadtaken in their two-year diploma programs. Both ENER 240 and 340 are designed with theidea that polytechnic students would be able to learn mathematics better if they are alsolearning simultaneously their applications.ENER 340 is delivered in 6 weeks during the Summer term, and each week has 6 hoursof lectures and 6 hours of tutorials.

Future research should collect more data to explore how scaffolding throughquestion prompts affects students’ learning. Future work should also investigate the design ofquestion prompts and the effect on learners with different background. As the ultimate goal ofscaffolding is to achieve independent learning, research should be conducted to find out whenscaffolding can be removed.References[1] A. S.
