, such as reaction forces, and stresses, can be solved after the displacement variables areobtained.The sizes of the global stiffness matrixes can be very large. Considering the limitation of writing thematrixes on paper, or printing on paper, the exercise problems used in this class are limited under12x12 matrix size. Going through the finite element formulation of a structure problem, variabledefinition, coordinate transformation, identification of boundary conditions, and matrix solvingprocesses, the students learn the fundamental concepts of finite element formulation.

other artifacts in thisdiscussion. However, the payoff of writing use cases is that they provide a more complete picture ofusers’ interactions with the system11.Formal models and diagramsDevelopment of more formal models and diagrams provide the opportunity to describe the contextand inner workings of a system which will eventually directly guide the implementation. Thistechnique visually represents the ideas in user stories with the benefit of using Computer AidedSoftware Engineering Tool (CASE)5. These models can reveal the inner workings of a user’s dailyresponsibilities and challenges at a level directly valuable to construction. How many, and what typeof models are created can be directly related to the project scope as we aim to model

studies on the shuttle system, assembly of space station Freedom, hydraulic line model developments of the thrust vector control system, and robot programming for foam and paint stripping of the SRB tunnel covers. While working in the steel industry, he conducted extensive studies on the cooling of rolls and flat products in the hot strip mill, and mill torsional vibration and torque ampli- fication studies. He is a co-inventor on a US patent on the rolling of flat products. His academic activities focus on conducting research in areas that are important to the industry but is fundamental in nature such as using multiphase (air-mist) cooling in the quenching of metals for the steel industry, tempering of glass for the

Engineering Education 3questions, had their cameras on, and asked questions when in doubt. Most students aim to get an“A” grade and losing 5% of the grade would decrease their chances.Another aspect to consider in engagement axis was that students are afraid of harassment whenasking fundamental questions and as such limit their in-class interaction in. In fact, a student washarassed for asking a fundamental question during Fall 2020, which resulted in a strict noharassment policy which stipulated that if any student is caught harassing or bullying any otherstudent, then that student would meet with strict and severe disciplinary repercussions which caninclude failing the class or being reported to the
