across the other course requirements, which included three exams, 6quizzes and 3 projects. Homework sets were designed to provide students with practice applyingconcepts and problem-solving strategies to help prepare them for the exams. The first two examsconsisted of two versions (A and B), each having the same problems with various dimension andload values changed. Students in each section randomly received either an A version or a Bversion. The third exam was taken by all students at the same time in the same room. The examconsisted of two versions but with the same problems presented in a different order. The samethird exam had been used over the years until recently, when a change needed to be made due toa security breach. A similar exam

The goal is for the students to identify a mentor and start theprocess of integrating into their mentor’s research lab. Following lectures on literature searches and reading the literature, the student will locatejournal articles of their mentors work and other related work. This assignment will also havethem write a synopsis of the articles and how it is connected with the student’s project.
