research focuses on the nontraditional engineering student – understanding their motivations, identity development, and impact of prior engineering-related experiences. Her work dwells into learning in informal settings such as summer camps, military experiences, and extra-curricular activities. Other research interests involve validation of CFD models for aerospace applications as well as optimizing efficiency of thermal-fluid systems.Dr. Cheryl Q.

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

costefficiency of a hybrid approach—an attractive feature for institutions faced with shrinkingbudgets and classroom space—Brown13 posits that, in the future, institutions will design mostcourses by the 90–10 Rule Q (p. 22). In other words, a mix of face-to-face and online instruction(somewhere between 90% and 10% and 10% and 90%) will be superior to either 100% face-to-face or 100% online courses6. The findings of a study show that online learning can be aseffective as face-to-face learning in many respects in spite of the fact that students in onlineprograms may be less satisfied with their experience than students in more traditional learningenvironments14.

Therefore, this “Top-Down” approach would predict that asthe length is decreased to a 3-D nanoscopic resistor, as shown in Figure 1 on the right, itsresistance would approach zero ohms. However, it is now well known that the conductance fornano-scale ballistic conductors is quantized in multiples of q2/h ≈ 1/(25kΩ)1, where q is theelectron charge (1.6 × 10 C) and h is Planck’s Constant (6.63 × 10 J-sec). For thisreason, the resistance of the simplest 1-D nanoscopic device would approach h/q2 ≈ 25kΩ (notzero ohms). A=Wt A=Wt L L

What is the maximum amount you would be willing to pay for the option? (Use the binomial option pricing model described in class in arriving at your answer.) Answer: $3.65 S = $57.00, K = $58.50, u = 1.1, d = 0.9, rf = 4%, T = 2. Therefore, q = (1.04 - 0.90)/(1.1 - 0.9) = 0.7.4.

These questions aregrouped into six categories. Four of the eighteen questions and two of the six categories wereused to assess students’ satisfaction with the course and, specifically, the RGM project.

recognizedthey needed to use the information in the graph to the right of the simulation. However, twodifferent errors caused Gerry to submit the wrong answer: Gerry: This is insulated which means Q is zero. So, ‘calculate the amount of work that the piston and block did on the system’. So as I can see in PV graph, this is [an] irreversible process, so the area under the PV curve will be the work that the piston did on the system. Since [the] system got the work, work will be a positive number. So I can just simply get the area under the curve which would be, I don’t know, 15 times 15? So 225 approximately.Figure 3.

During both semesters, there was one PLG leader (PLGL1) whofollowed the exact procedure laid out in the methods section (15 minutes of Q&A, 45 minutes ofprepared exercise, 1 hour of work time). Additionally, each semester, the other PLG leader(PLGL2) did not follow the procedure and spent the majority of the time helping students withtheir assignments. PLGL1 had a small group of students who attended the sessions each week.These students were not struggling in the class, but actually using these sessions to enhance theiralready proficient level of understanding.

Optical Flow8,9 and Block Matching algorithms10,11 are relatively easy toimplement. However, both algorithms are derived based on the assumption that target objectdoes not rotate and deform through motion. Clearly, this assumption is not applicable toproblems encountered in the mechanics of material. With the assist of finite strain theory andnonlinear optimization theory, the concept of DIC can be described as follows.The deformation of an elastic body takes place between non-deformed and deformedconfigurations after motion and deformation is schematically presented in Fig. 1.
