Introduction “The hardest single part of building a software system is deciding precisely what to build. No other part of the conceptual work is as difficult as establishing the detailed technicalrequirements, including all the interfaces to people, to machines, and to other software systems. No other part of the work so cripples the resulting system if done wrong. No other part is more difficult to rectify later.” [1]Software requirements engineering plays an important role in software

surface. Crystal orientation changes of between 1 to 10 degrees create very thin(nanometer wide) regions called low angle grain boundaries (LAGBs), and where they occur,they separate a crystal into subgrains, or crystallites. High angle grain boundaries (HAGBs), withmisorientation between 10 to 15 degrees, are a discrete change of crystal orientation. Theseregions are defined as the demarcation between grains. Grain boundaries render a material apoly-crystal. The long-range collection of grains, grain boundaries and other defects in a materialsample are collectively termed “microstructure”.It may confuse novice learners that HAGBs and LAGBs may each be detected or imaged bysome characterization techniques and not by others.

multidisciplinary themes, we used a “backward design”1process beginning with what instructors from the foundational courses in engineering (i.e.,chemistry, physics, mathematics) identified as their intended learning outcomes. From our ownbackground in STEM teaching and learning, we then isolated the pivotal concepts and criticalskills that supported these learning outcomes. We refined our list of those concepts and skillsthrough a literature search on student misconceptions and integrated curricula. In the end, aconcept or skill was identified as pivotal when it satisfied one of two criteria: (1) it was multidisciplinary; or (2) it was prerequisite for multiple concepts that would be taught in upper-level courses.By sorting the pivotal concepts and

Statics is a “threshold concept” in engineering in that mastery ofthis area can serve as a “conceptual gateway” that opens up “previously inaccessible way(s) ofthinking about something” [1]. However, many statics courses have a high failure rate, and manystudents who pass still have difficulty conceptualizing important topics and may have trouble infollow-up courses [2-4].

Nowadays,as automation, high performance machining and labor savings are introduced in machining ofdiscrete component designing, prototyping and manufacturing, it is desirable to reduce the timeand the manpower for inspection, and have an intelligent and real-time quality control of theproducts. This is typically performed by using coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) andrelated inspection tools. Great savings of both time and labor during the inspection process canbe realized in

The standpipe rises up the wall of the structureto discharge at a point higher than the sand column, thus maintaining a standing depth of water inthe filter. A diffuser is hung above the water level to prevent new water that is dumped into thefilter from penetrating the upper sand level.
