INCORPORATING A TRUSS DESIGN PROJECT INTO A MECHANICS & STATICS COURSE Robert A. Marlor, P.E., Ph.D. Associate Professor of Engineering Technology Northern Michigan UniversityINTRODUCTIONWhen teaching engineering design concepts in engineering technology programs, instructors arechallenged to create realistic, hands on, intuitive design experiences at an early stage in thestudents’ development. This paper describes a balsa wood truss design competition used in aStatics & Mechanics course at NMU to motivate the learning of the concepts of staticequilibrium and truss analysis.Balsa wood bridge projects have been used

However, if these goals can be met,not only will the profession benefit but also the academic experience for the architecture studentwill improve. Students of architecture have always raised concerns of "how do the pieces fittogether?” Students in Architectural Engineering Technology programs rarely have theeducational opportunity to see a studio project through each of these phases. The goal of DesignHabitat is to help students see the "whole picture" and thereby improve their ability to learn.Affordable Housing in the United StatesThe United States has struggled with issues of housing for all its citizens for many years.

poorly handled parochial items thatcollectively degrade the quality of the whole course. Equally as sad is the fact that most of theseitems are correctable by most instructors. The secret is an attitude adjustment. The multiple roleof Engineering faculty will not change. Faculty are expected to conduct research, supportstudents, and teach classes. What can change is the intensity level faculty put onto teachingwhen performing that activity. That one behavior alteration will eliminate most parochial issuesand increase the pleasure and satisfaction that good teaching does provide.MARILYN BARGER is an assistant professor in the Civil Engineering Department at FAMU-FSU College ofEngineering, where she is developing research programs in hazardous

trendcontinues, the learning curve for tomorrows’ engineers grows steeper and the gap betweendesigning embedded systems in industry and teaching embedded systems development at auniversity widens. Educators are therefore challenged to adapt to advances in embedded systemswhile maintaining courseware that is broken into simple building blocks capable of maintainingcontinuity along the growth path. This requires a rich hands-on curriculum that encapsulatesmodular hardware, software, and courseware that can scale from fundamental concepts to moreadvanced topics.This paper introduces a modular demonstration, development and learning hardware platformand an example set of progressive laboratory exercises that help to meet this challenge.

In the case when very precise and specialized tests are necessarywithin the metrology community, it is particularly challenging to establish computercontrol of an entire procedure.
