, theanalysis begins with the treatment of distributed loads as concentrated loads. Then, because themethod shown is readily repeated using distributed loading, we can assess whether thesimplification is sufficient.Overall, the analysis method consists of the following steps: Page 24.946.5 (1) apply a dummy load/moment, and solve for static support reactions, (2) write a moment equation in Macaulay form augmented with Heaviside step function variables, (3) take a partial derivative of the moment equation with respect to the dummy load and a second partial derivative with respect to the dummy moment, (4) re-write the moment equation

One of the key benchmarkstudies on undergraduate education was conducted by Astin who collected longitudinal data onnearly 25,000 students at over 300 institutions to assess the influences of a range ofcharacteristics on the students' college experience.7 Factors critical to engineering educationspecifically were summarized by Felder8 in the following points:  The quality of the college experience is strongly affected by student-faculty interactions.  Smaller enrollments and lower student/faculty ratios both correlate with satisfaction with instructional quality, enrollment in graduate school, interest in college

We believe that knowledge gained through theseexercises is essential for successful use of the same functionality in GRC.Because the RTL-SDR devices provide I/Q samples at a high rate (up to 3.2Ms/s), real-timeprocessing in GNU Radio often requires decimation at various stages in the signal flow. Thetopic of multi-rate signal processing has not previously been discussed in our course. The topicwill now need to be introduced early-on. At a minimum, students must understand the keypitfalls associated with decimation and
