,understanding and use of nuclear data is extremely important. Nuclear data “impacts design,efficiency and operation of advanced reactors and security applications” [4]. Data analytics playsa crucial role in increasing safety, reliability, and economic viability [4][5].However, the current K-12 and higher education curricula are lacking in data analytics especiallyfor nuclear energy and security. Hence, there is an urgent need to explore innovative approachesin order to integrate data analytics skills into pipeline building to strengthen the future workforcein those areas.In this paper, a pilot study that includes the strategies and practice to integrate data analytics intosummer enrichment programs in nuclear energy and security hosted at Alabama A&

In each pathway, students get the skills that have beenidentified within that given pathway and are taught the specific set of ways those skills areintegrated with one another through hands-on classroom scenarios along with on-site training.While there are obvious benefits in training students in the aforementioned model, we shouldaugment existing CTE programs such that it emphasizes contextual, horizontal integration ofskills needed for small-scale, diverse production.

The designproject discussed in-depth is a statically determinate hoist frame structure. The hoist is used tolift an object of weight. It is assembled with smooth pins and is symmetric about the two-dimensional plane. Three other design projects discussed briefly include a brace structure, beamhanger, and simple hoist structure. Lecture examples, homework problems, and design projectproblems are solved with all equations formulated symbolically. One major advantage is thatsymbolic equations can be solved for any variable value. Furthermore, the design processgenerally requires solving problems over a range of variable
