A Hands-on Project for a Wood Structures CourseAbstractThe material behavior of wood used in structural applications is a complicated topic. Thestrength values differ in each direction and for each type of loading as opposed to the relativelysimple yield and fracture strengths of steel, or the trusty compressive strength of concrete.Professors at two universities have implemented a hands-on project in the Structural WoodDesign course at their respective universities with the objective of stimulating critical thinking inrelation to the behavior of wood structural members. Teams of four to five students are given alist of available wood members to choose from including dimension lumber, plywood, OSB, andsets of nails and

The Comprehensive Handling of Safety in an Autonomous Robot Capstone Project Dr. John G. Ciezki, U.S. Air Force Academy Dr. Steve E. Watkins, Missouri University of Science and TechnologyAbstractA systematic approach to safety issues is described in the context of an autonomous robotcapstone project. The treatment of safety should not be an ad hoc or after-thought aspect ofdesign projects. Engineering students need to consider safety as an integral component of thedesign process and to identify and address hazards systematically in each stage of project work.Appropriate actions include researching professional standards and regulations, incorporatingsafety

The next component was a series of questions on “Team Conflict,” whichwere answered using a Likert scale (none, little or rarely, some, much or often, very much orvery often). Examples of questions included, “How frequently do you have disagreements withinyour work group about the task of the project you are working on?” and “How much emotionalconflict is there in your work group?” Next, three questions on “Team Satisfaction” wereanswered on a Likert scale (strongly agree, agree, neither agree nor disagree, disagree, stronglydisagree). Questions included, “I am satisfied with my teammates”, “I am pleased with the waymy teammates and I work together,” and “I am very satisfied with working
