INCORPORATING A TRUSS DESIGN PROJECT INTO A MECHANICS & STATICS COURSE Robert A. Marlor, P.E., Ph.D. Associate Professor of Engineering Technology Northern Michigan UniversityINTRODUCTIONWhen teaching engineering design concepts in engineering technology programs, instructors arechallenged to create realistic, hands on, intuitive design experiences at an early stage in thestudents’ development. This paper describes a balsa wood truss design competition used in aStatics & Mechanics course at NMU to motivate the learning of the concepts of staticequilibrium and truss analysis.Balsa wood bridge projects have been used
advantage of virtual mode is the flexibility for both the students and theinstructor.The possible drawback of virtual lab is: less or very few communications between the studentsand the instructor. Another possible drawback is the uneven workload among the students in thesame bench; it seems that in many benches, one student did most of the demos.To benefit more students and people, enhancing virtual labs to a lab courseware is some possiblealternative to consider.AcknowledgementThe authors gratefully acknowledge the financial and technology support of the University,College of Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering Department and the Center for theAdvancement of Faculty Excellence, which allows the students to perform lab experiments

The problem description is followed by analysis of the impact on somequantitative indicators of student success and team composition, and a subjective description ofone student’s experience with the previous teaming method and how the optimization approachmay have improved teaming.Literature ReviewThe fundamental objective of senior project courses is to teach students how to work as a team toapply their engineering skills to design, fabricate, test, and validate a complex system. Thesecourses often follow the guidance of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology(ABET), which has the

in the CAED degree programs. As each program stands, there is already a highnumber of undergraduate course units to meet graduation criteria set by accreditation bodies,offering little flexibility in a department’s curriculum flowchart to create new courses to addressDEI. At present, some students take on extra elective courses in ethnic studies and related fields(beyond their degree’s general education requirements) to further their knowledge on DEI issues.The authors anticipate that similar challenges are experienced across faculty in built environmentprograms (and more broadly science, technology, engineering, and math - STEM) regardless ofthe U.S. region they serve or presence in a teaching or research-oriented institution.

strongly advocate use of in-person online teaching over face-to-face conventional teaching mode. A reason for success couldbe that the engineering students are more technology savvy so it is easier to move classes online.Alternatively, it might be because students saved commute time and used it for course work. Orbecause they were better off staying at home with less worries. Or due to availability of recordedlectures for the students to review in their own time.11.
