and composite bodies-StaticsThe centroid serves as the geometric center of a body, coinciding with the center of mass or gravityonly when the material composing the body is uniform or homogeneous [10]. Formulas forcalculating the centroid of regular areas (such as circular arc segments, quarters, semicircle arcs,trapezoids, semi-parabolas, and parabolic areas) can be found at the end of Statics textbooks.To simplify these calculations, one can create a Centroid class that prompts for (a) the shape of thearea and (b) the required dimension(s) to calculate the centroid. For example, for a trapezoidalarea, the centroid can be determined by providing the magnitudes of the two bases and the altitude.In engineering mechanics, there are instances

There were three primary forms of question types utilized in thesurvey to support acquiring quantitative and qualitative feedback to support item reduction. Thefirst form utilized binary responses of yes or no. Question A of the survey as seen below in Table1 embraced this question form to provide binary data needed to evaluate face validity. Likertscales [26] are the second form embedded into the survey in which Questions B, C, and D allutilized Likert scales. Question B utilizes a 4-point Likert scale while Questions C and D utilizea 1-3 Likert scale. These three

Specifically, Q-8 (How strongly do you agree with thestatement: “I understand the economic benefits of sustainable practices”?) and Q-10 (Howstrongly do you agree with the statement: “I am knowledgeable about sustainable technologies inmy field of study”?) showed an improvement by 45.1% (from 45.8% in pre-course to 90.9% inpost-course survey) and 52.3% (from 25.0% in pre-course to 77.3% in post-course survey) inagree

automation has grown in so many directions in recent years, it may not be possible for any oneprogram to cover all of the aspects of construction automation without at least offering a minoror a certificate in automation. In general, a curriculum in construction automation can be built upfrom the following three major classifications of subjects: 1. Introduction to automation a. History b. Benefits and challenges c. Areas of applicability d. Impact on society and the environment e. Current technologies and emerging trends f. Automation equipment g. Impact on project outcomes, including safety, quality, cost, and risk h. Ethical and legal
degree to which they achieve related learningoutcomes. As a result, the process by which students negotiate and allocate tasks holdsheightened importance for their learning in team-based, project-based learning settings.The MITA framework posits that task allocation in collaborative projects is informed bystudents’ (a) initial predispositions, skill sets, and prior experiences, (b) related self-efficacybeliefs about engaging in teamwork and various sociotechnical tasks, (c) their academicorientation, and (d) team negotiation processes that entail complex interpersonal communicationdynamics. Initial predispositions are thought to be informed by students’ personal interests andmotivations, the skills they bring to the project, and prior teamwork
