Early inthe course, the course coordinators divide the class into six-person teams. The coordinatorsassign teams based on a number of factors including academic performance, academicbackground, preferred civil engineering emphasis area, and practical engineering

c American Society for Engineering Education, 2013 A new motivation and perspective on teaching simulation and design: The development of a dynamic process model in conjunction with an operator training simulator (OTS)IntroductionDuring the past five years, the author was involved, as part of a team of researchers anddevelopers, in building an Operator Training Simulator (OTS) for an Integrated GasificationCombined Cycle (IGCC) power plant. In a companion project, a 3-D fully Immersive TrainingSystem (ITS) was developed for the same IGCC power plant OTS. During this process, theeducational potential of both the OTS and ITS became evident and provides the motivation forthis paper.Traditional process/plant

to promote learning at several educational levels. Inthis particular student design project, the student must first analyze the forces in each member ofa truss, then determine the cross-sectional dimensions of each truss member and finally build andload test the truss. Over the course of more than twenty semesters, the details of this projecthave been refined to produce a realistic design experience that solidifies the learning of trussanalysis by requiring the student to both design and build a model truss.In this paper, detailed information will be presented on how to successfully incorporate thisproject experience into a Statics class in a time efficient manner.TRUSS DESIGN PROJECT DESCRIPTIONThe objective of this truss design competition
