Based on the local constructionindustry’s interest in the program and level of construction activity, it is expected that theprogram will eventually provide graduate education meeting the demand for a higher level ofconstruction knowledge.I.

Numerically integrate the equations of motion and plot the trajectory of the mass during the interval of time 0 < t < 5 s. Verify that the trajectory will, at some point, coincide with the circle determined in Item 2. 4. Finally, repeat the operations done in Item 3 for two other sets of arbitrarily assigned ini- tial conditions and verify that, regardless of initial conditions the motion of the mass will converge to the steady state solution. Provide a physical explanation for this behavior.3.2 Dynamics of Particle Systems: Two Masses Connected by a SpringThis activity

examination of students in these twogroups (baccalaureate only and baccalaureate and additional degree(s)) differed by 2.7 percentin favor of the students holding additional degrees, a difference that is not statisticallysignificant. However, the average of both groups in the cooperative classes exceeded theaverage of the students in the classes that used the lecture/discussion format. Adjusting theaverage score of the cooperative classes for the differences in educational attainment betweenthe baccalaureate only and additional degree groups would result in an approximately 0.8%decrement in the average score of the cooperative classes. Thus, level of education apparentlyhas too small an effect to account for the observed differences in average test
