and build projects in traditionally analytical courses in the Engineering Mechanics sequence. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2016 Using Stress Shielding in Hip Implants as a Case Study to Teach Loading of Composite BeamsAbstractA laboratory activity was developed in which the students modeled and analyzed the femoralportion of an artificial hip replacement as a composite beam. A historical challenge with artificialhip replacements has been that the stiffer artificial femoral component shields the surroundingbone from stresses during physiological activities. This phenomenon, known as “stressshielding,” results in bone resorption that can lead to implant failure

Somementors participated in the role for multiple semesters and were thus more experienced atassigning logbook grades, but there was additionally some turn-over each semester. Each of thethree or four mid-semester gradings focused both on quality of work (e.g., appropriate content,content clarity, and organization) and on general logbook proficiency (e.g., regular entries,quantity of documentation, and adequate reflection), and to a lesser degree on contentcorrectness.

Thus, there is an urgent needfor focusing student attention towards the fundamental or core ideas related to the topic underdiscussion as take away points. We implement a teaching approach with “thought bubbles”,commonly used in arts and cartoons, to present core ideas to students as discussion questions.“Thought bubbles” (aka clouds) are used to pose as introductory questions for initiatinglecture/discussion and as concluding thoughts.
