It is this broader understanding

It concludes with a discussion of their analysis of stresses in a member exposed to three different loading cases. b) This paper will be of interest to those involved with solid mechanics (Mechanical and Civil engineers). c) There are some grammar and spelling issues that need to be addressed. d) The abstract

and the faculty advisors work on the initialformulation of the problem, bearing in mind that appropriate projects need to involve, besides theindustrial importance, a significant need for mathematical modeling and computations. Once thestudents start the work, they need to appreciate the engineering significance of the problem andthe mathematical tools needed to attack it. Almost always, students need to learn the engineeringlanguage, so often foreign to them, and at the same time they usually need to learn moremathematical theory. Students discover that real-life problems are very different from textbookproblems, as the former come almost always incompletely formulated, with messy data and arenot preceded by a math lesson for which these are
