She formulated this research basedon the hypothesis that the force can be measured indirectly by equating it to the deflection of themicro-posts using the beam bending theory. In collaboration with her partner graduate student, shecalculated force from displacement of the tip of the posts on the MPAD using spring theory conceptand force-displacement proportionality relationship.4.3.

Interactions of the experiment also provides linksbetween undergraduate students and graduate level research processes.Introduction Products continue to integrate into our lives. Thus more and more distinctions can bemade about what kinds of products are needed for various circumstances. The distinction inwhich we place interest is whether a preferable product is one that can transform, that is changeshape and functionality, or one which maintains a consistent morphology. We want to establishdesign methods to ensure this distinction of needs is properly met. For most instances of design, decisions of

of our larger study.2. Prior Literature on Choosing Engineering in the Academy vs. IndustryFor nearly 60 years, the National Science Foundation (NSF) has tracked information about USAPhD recipients, their post-graduate plans, and their employment experiences well beyondgraduation. At least in the USA, most PhDs work in academia, but this number is on the decline[10]. The tracking of this information by the NSF has led some researchers to ask what makesscientists and engineers choose the kinds of jobs they do. Yet, the research on self-selection intoan academic versus industry career in engineering is limited. To begin, almost all of it isquantitative in nature, much of it focuses on STEM PhDs in general, and almost all of it isperformed on

The idea for the course originally came from amultidisciplinary team research project undertaken by CSM faculty for the United StatesDepartment of Energy.2 This project realized an incremental benefit of $20 million discounted at10% and showed the power of a multidisciplinary approach. The results of this project alsoendorsed calls in the early 1990’s that suggested engineering curricula needed to be improved inthe area of engineering design and teamwork processes.6 When the requirements of ABET weremodified to include capstone design courses, CSM felt strongly that programs of this kind wouldbenefit its graduates and make them more valuable to future employers.
