Asdescribed on the nanoHUB.org website, key characteristics of the nanoHUB.org simulation toolsthat make them good resources for incorporation into classroom environments are: a) they wereproduced by researchers in the NCN focus areas, b) they are easily accessed online from a webbrowser powered by a highly sophisticated architecture that taps into national grid resources, andc) they provide a consistent interactive graphical user interface—i.e. Rappture, which makeseven the most esoteric computational model approachable to experts and non-experts. Rapptureis a toolkit that allows the incorporation of a friendly graphical user interface with the simulationtools in the nanoHUB.org (McLennan, 2005) 2 . For example, Figure 1 illustrates a typical

Lacking a good explanation for the latter formula in the text-books or by the instructors in classrooms, students are often made to simply take it on faith thatthese two formulas are somehow equivalent to each other. This paper is written to share witheducators of machine design and other readers two alternative paths that will arrive at the lattergeneral form of the von Mises stress: (a) by way of eigenvalues of the stress matrix, (b) by wayof stress invariants of the stress matrix.

UCF, calledthe EXCEL Program, is a 5-year program funded in 2006. The specific goal of the EXCELprogram is to increase UCF’s retention rates in STEM disciplines, thereby increasing thenumber of students graduating with a STEM degree from the institution. In this process anincrease in the percentages of under-represented groups (women and minorities) graduating withSTEM degrees is expected, since UCF has high percentages of underrepresented minorities inSTEM disciplines (more than 25% of STEM admits at UCF are Hispanics or AfricanAmericans). To achieve EXCEL’s goal, two important objectives are identified: (a) recruitstudents in EXCEL, and (b) retain the EXCEL students in STEM disciplines.

As shown below in Figure 4, these encoders generate two signals‘A’ and ‘B’ in “quadrature” to each other (i.e., 90° out of phase). As the motor shaftrotates, the sequence of pulses are sensed and processed. As can be seen in the figure, theA and B pulses count out a grey-coded signal. When the motor is rotating in the forwarddirection, the sequence is of the form 00→01→11→10→00 etc. Conversely, when themotor is
