Eachlaboratory includes three separate activities for the students to perform, and almost all of thelaboratory equipment was designed and constructed in-house specifically for the course. Thethird component of the course is a design project, which is assigned at the beginning of thesemester and requires the students to integrate what they learn from the weekly lectures andlaboratories, in addition to the material they learn in the Mechanics Based Design lecture

Different perspectives and teaching approachesfor ESI were evident among these groups, and this range of experiences could ultimatelyenhance students’ ethical reasoning abilities, impact their attitudes, and effect their behaviors.It appears that one could not expect to achieve adequate education on ESI within a single course.A single course simply cannot cover the breadth of important microethics and macroethics topicsand reach reasonable levels of cognitive and affective depth. Integrating ESI across a range ofcourses in a deliberate manner can reinforce and build on ideas. Including ESI across thecurriculum has been advocated as an effective way to foster ethical development in an alreadydense technical curriculum [23, 24]. One

RP technologies like Stereolithography (SLA), Selective Laser Sintering(SLS), and Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) deposit thermoplastic powders or resins in thinlayers to construct the model1. Designs for small parts can go from a CAD file to an actualmodel in just a few hours.

Practical analyses before moment distribution necessarilyhad to be of an approximate nature for most structures.In the moment distribution method, all joints of the structure are initially assumed to be fixed toprevent both rotation and translation. Next, the moments at the member fixed ends resultingfrom the applied loads acting on the beam are determined. In the usual case, the moments fromall members entering a joint do not result in the joint being in equilibrium. The joint

This skill is certainly a requirement of an experienced machine designer; however,novices may be outmatched when exposed to this level of expertise at an early stage in theirdevelopment. This article suggests that the sizing projects should be based on existingmachinery that is available in the university, and that is accessible for inspection and explorationby students.
