designed to provide timelyreminders of key concepts, processes, and equations that students are most likely to use in thecoming week. As previously mentioned, one of the primary purposes of the class is for teams toverify loads predictions through the manufacture and test of a test article representative of anaircraft component. Thus, one engineering lecture might be on how to undertake a materialstrade study, including calculation of strength-to-cost efficiencies and determination of the impactof various materials on the environment during manufacture or disposal; this lecture would begiven prior to the ordering of materials and manufacturing of the test article.The second activity is a communications lecture, given by the COM professor the
