students and the professionals. The metric used here is the F2 measure commonlyadopted in traceability research.5, 8, 11 Formally, let A be the answer set of correct traceabilitylinks and B be the set of links submitted by the human. Then, recall is R = (|A ∩ B|)/(|A|),and precision is P = (|A ∩ B|)/(|B|). F2 represents a harmonic mean of R and P and is de-fined as F2 = (5 · R · P )/(4 · P + R). Note that the F2 measure weights recall (R) twice asmuch as precision (P ). This is because in automated tracing, it is easier to remove incorrectlinks than to find missing links.11To answer RQ2, we perform qualitative analysis by collecting a hybrid of data. Our main datasources are observations and notes taken during all the tracing sessions, coding and

, debugging, and software training. Acourse in programming can be challenging for many students choosing to major in mechanicalengineering. The major attracts students with diverse backgrounds and a wide variety ofacademic interests. It is uncommon for students to choose to study mechanical engineeringbecause of their interest in programming or modeling. This often leads to a disconnect betweenthe students and the instructor, which can create an intimidating classroom environment. Thework presented here is driven by these findings.A new programming course has been developed to address the problems existing in the originalcourse model, which include: (a) the course being offered outside of an engineering department,(b) the extreme variability in the

These two objectives align withimportant themes and goals published elsewhere. For this first-year design course, three specificlearning outcomes have been defined: students design a product that meets user-defined needsand realistic constraints; students communicate effectively through written reports andoral/visual presentations; and students

Therefore, the geometry shown applies to either the geometry before the load is applied,or to the final geometry after the load is applied. If we assume that the geometry applies beforethe load is applied, then we can calculate the load in each wire (84.9 and 72.1 pounds for cablesA and B, respectively), and then the amount that each wire
