Students filled in the table provided based on the given information, thencalculated row and column summations to determine the total embodied strain energy in thetruss. Then students inserted values for member area, A, and modulus of elasticity, E, andsolved for truss deflection at the point of virtual load application.Interactive Lesson PlanOne detached member of the truss was circulated among the students so they could exert axialcompressive and tensile forces on member and experience individual member elongation andshortening. Then, a brief description of the model joints, geometry, and support conditions wasprovided. Students received a blank worksheet (see Figure 12, right, for the

, leadership, and entrepreneurship may increase the knowledge of how to start one’sown enterprise and recognize the technological opportunities for commercialization to improvedecision-making about starting a new venture; also education influences decisions aboutcapturing the business opportunities and turning them into successful ventures.Higher education plays a key role in delivering these concepts in lecture and practice settings.This paper has reported the practices and enhancements made in an MET3060 CNC MachiningPractices course. Technical topics were covered by course instructors. Subject matter experts ininnovation, leadership, and entrepreneurship have provided in-depth lectures and Q&As tocourse students.

frequency response, the signal frequency has to be stepped, the measurement beingrepeated at every step to gather data points to plot the response as a function of the frequency. Inprinciple the input and output voltage amplitude measurements can be accomplished very simplyby employing two AC voltmeters. However, most undergraduate teaching laboratories areequipped with only one meter per station. Besides, most DMMs have a very limited frequencyrange, typically less than 100 KHz. Beams[2] has shown that, with external circuitry controlled bya PC, one can multiplex the input and the output signals into a single voltmeter. He employed anI-Q phase detector and incorporated it with a multiplexer to do both phase and amplitudemeasurement with only one

accomplished through partnerships with community colleges, high schools, and the internal and external University community. Listed are a few initiatives that were implemented this year to increase female enrollment:  Counselors recommended 50 females students that were unsure of career plans from High Point Andrews and T. Wingate High School for a tour of the School of Technology, followed by an overview of our programs. We then had leading female students in their respective majors host a Q/A session. Our exit survey showed that the tour and overview stimulated interest in 51 percent of the females who had not been interested in Technology

in the book, and some requested moreguided journaling assignments. Overall, the lesson learned is programs that build upon texts orother “homework” must be carefully designed to provide utility for students who may not beable to complete the “assigned” tasks.Balance Information and CommunityOften, co-curricular programs are either highly structured (i.e., lectures with Q&A, guestspeakers) or very informal (i.e., coffee hours). While both approaches can be successful, theycan also stifle enthusiastic students or frighten away shy ones. In the “Lean In” discussions, themost successful sessions struck an even balance between formal professional developmentactivities—videos, structured discussion, information sharing—and open discussion
