Furthermore, the differences between the annealed and cold worked (orhalf-hard) brass demonstrate the effect of cold work on increasing the yield stress and decreasingthe ductility. Students are able to visualize the uniform plastic deformation that occurs in thetensile bar by performing hands-on tests. Figure 1(b) shows the plastic deformation from theinitial metal bar length through necking (thinning of the sample’s mid-section) to fracture forsample tensile bars.

Students were provided with a handout
the convolution of the impulseresponse and the square wave, as shown in Figure 7. They then look at what happens when thesystem is excited with a sinusoidal input. The subsequent lab explores 2nd order circuits anddemonstrates the significance of complex exponentials and the effect of dampening, whilereinforcing the notion of convolution. What before was a mathematical exercise in integrationbecomes an experience in probing a circuit with various input signals to see what happens. Norigor is lost, as they are still required to go through the drills of computing the convolutionintegral, but the process now has meaning. (a) (b) Figure 7 Measured and computed responses for an

Because of government restrictions, the participation of studentsin the components is voluntary, and students were encouraged to participate by SOCHE. Thesetransformational components are: (A) A joint orientation process with SOCHE and AFIT ProjectLeaders; (B) Student cohorts through social activities and STEM
activity is important in terms of (a) theinstitution’s distinctive residential culture and (b) the importance of faculty contact with studentsin terms of retention in engineering.In addition to these two criteria listed above, we have found it advantageous to create acommunity amongst the faculty leaders. Over the past few years, this has been achieved byproviding copies of the selected book and providing lunch to the group leaders the Friday beforethe discussions. During this meeting, we share ideas on how to lead a discussion about the book.These notes are collected and shared with all faculty group leaders, and this meeting is generallywelcomed and generates significant guidance and input for the discussion group leaders.Enrichment EventsAs the

. Again, these laboratory practicals were graded on a 20point scale. Students were told that they had to model the taper of the marker body, the capindentions and overall shape, as well as the necessary rounds and chamfers. Students were alsorequired to relate the size of the cap to the size of the octagon at the end of the marker body(similar to the relation required in the original laboratory practical). a. b.

a) The weight of the new chassis is still heavier than the original fuel cell car, which reduces run time. b) The fuel cell car`s maneuverability is limited by the size of the chassis and the type and number of sensors. c) Running time is still short (2 minute approximately) so it would be beneficial to increase this. d) New fuel cell car requires twice as much fuel in order to maintain original run times.The case activities, course concepts and report due dates were planned for five stages,summarized in Table 2. Ultimately, the students recommended design improvements for the nextversion of the chassis based on the case activity results. Students worked in teams of five andcompleted

Preliminary results show that four core “rules” (also known as emotional andcommunication messages for success) may in fact lead to misinterpretations and can sidetrackproductive engagement for creation and collaboration: a) Repeating for perfection: in fact,people report that they do not find flawless storytelling believable; b) Interacting one-on-onewithin a large audience: the opposite may be true when you apply a “planned spontaneous” andpersonally unique leadership approach in storytelling; c) Applying a template to tell andmemorize one story: in contrast, there are reasons to start in the middle of the story to find a newand powerful beginning; d) Describing a generic user story so as to only present a stereotype of apersona: both
