When compared totraditional methods of analysis the transformed-section method will give the students a way ofsolving statically indeterminate, composite member problems, of the sort illustrated here thatmay be quicker, simpler and more visually oriented. In the future testing and sampling to verifythis hypothesis will be conducted. The future will also include the expansion of this theory tocombined stress consideration.Bibliography1. S.

convection heat transferincludes “magical” formulae containing non-dimensional numbers raised to strangepowers and affording little, if any, physical insight. Transient conduction involvescomputing non-dimensional numbers and then looking up other non-dimensionalnumbers on charts made in the 1940’s specifically because no one had a computer sittingon their desk! Heat exchanger design and analysis again uses charts “canned” in the firsthalf of the 20th century, because no one other than a few bright academicians could solvethe problems at the time. The result is a course that may be boring for the students,especially the better ones.

Presenting design inthe context of Bloom’s Taxonomy may also enable students to recognize that they alreadypossess much of the prerequisite skill and knowledge to be successful designers. Once thestudents gain such confidence it is possible that they can begin to focus on acquiring the toolsrequired to perform engineering design. In essence the students are afforded the opportunity toput their ideas and experiences into new products or processes.The Engineering Design ProcessSince the late 1950’s and Sputnik engineering design has taken a back seat to scientific andanalytical research.
