Several teaching laboratorieswere improved with the addition of new equipment and computational software.Initial planning of this proposal called for the development of a certificate program in cleanenergy directed towards engineers employed by industrial partners. As the program developed,industry partners indicated preference for an advanced degree in lieu of an undergraduatecertificate, hence several courses were developed for graduate-level.Clean Energy Option of MS DSASignificant government and industry strategic investments are being targeted towards achievingrenewable energy

While the number of engineering degrees awarded since 2000 hasincreased from 59,497 to 69,895 in 2008 very nearly all of this increase went to male students, assuch the number of females earning undergraduate engineering degrees has dropped two percent;Figure 1 documents this negative trend.

Also, theEEs have the smallest difference (0.30) between average GPA and average MEMT 201 grade earned.The two largest groups who are required to take MEMT 201 are the civil engineers (CE) and themechanical engineers (ME). The CEs and MEs have differences of 0.60 and 0.57, respectively,between the average GPA and their average MEMT grade.

In Spring 2013, the sessions were allocated as follows:  Review of mechanics of materials concepts of stresses and deflections (one session).  Statically indeterminate structures (three sessions). Statically indeterminate structures subjected to axial loading and temperature changes are introduced in mechanics of materials, but time does not permit coverage of statically indeterminate beams. Analysis of a frame structure utilizes both hand calculations and finite element analysis.  Static failure criteria – ductile and brittle materials (four sessions). This is another topic that is

Many of the experiments are useful for differentiating science from engineering aswell. We also find that the hands-on approach to learning increases the understanding andretention of the scientific principles under study.The demonstrations deal with various equipment found on typical playgrounds.
