As such, it is on the syllabi of nearly all sophomore-level mechanics of materials courses,including the mechanical engineering technology course under consideration here. Within thelecture setting, FPB theory is developed from free-body diagram through beam deflection. Theoryis reinforced by analytical practice solving related homework problems 1-3.

. Traditionally, engineering has significantly fewerfemales enrolled than their male counterparts. Various reasons have been investigated to thisend [5,6], with one being that certain areas of science and engineering, are not appealing tofemale students. It has also been shown that young women tend to choose careers which have ahuman element. By using specially designed experiments, these gender issues can be addressedin a very non-invasive way. MEMS is useful to this end in the following ways. First, it is a very‘clean’ technology. One must not get their hands dirty to participate. Actually the converse istrue, one must take special measures to ensure that one does not contaminate the MEMS andcause failure to occur. In addition, MEMS devices can be used

Engineering technology students have an additional risk factor. It is the nature ofengineering technology courses at four-year institutions to be lab-intensive, even in the first twoyears of study. Many students find these courses challenging and time-consuming compared toother courses they take in their first two years4. If these students are not strongly committed totheir chosen courses of study there is a temptation to change majors. Freshmen also enter their chosen majors with a wide diversity of backgrounds andtechnical skill sets. Those with the background
