Lecture periods were sprinkled with collaborative active exercises. Studentswere encouraged to work in teams on the lecture active exercises and on laboratory tasks. Theinstructor often had to expressly direct the collaborative effort as most students would choose towork alone if given the choice. The complexity of VHDL and the overhead of tool chain processeslargely prohibited the use of the synthesis tools in-class for the active exercises.In-class active exercises were mostly focused on the design approach for a particular problem, withstudents

Enhanced analytical and computational capabilities and higher strength materials have led tolighter, larger and more complex and unconventional civil structures. To design such structures,one must be able to evaluate their overall behavior under both static and dynamic (seismic)heavy overloads, both in laboratory and field environments. The inherent non-linearities indescribing the material behavior and the interaction between the components of a structure,makes simply using analytical tools for studying the response inadequate. This can only be doneby experimental testing. Research projects for the

Positionoptions in technical work experience include: self-positioning as an engineering intern, anengineer, a student engineer, a teaching assistant, or an agentic position. We also found somestudents took on two positions, such as self-positioning as an engineering intern and an agenticposition, in their reflections.
