The main design variables in these stands are thegeometry, material and safety factor. The teaching and learning outcomes of the work along withthe safety and ethical issues have been discussed. It is hoped that through this study the studentsdevelop a clear understanding of assumptions made in the CAD and FEA course topics onframes and how they address the CLOs.Introduction and Literature ReviewStructural analysis of space frames is not a new subject.

Once students were identified to have issues around Math literacy, theywere encouraged to be more proactive. This concern around Math (and Science) literacy wasreflected in several institutional retention policies in addressing the needs of NTs. Studentsshould be encouraged to seek tutoring assistance from available learning-centers, and facultyshould play an active role in continually identifying and recommending qualified students towork as tutors [7]. The successful implementation of these learning-centers consisted ofproviding adequate and appropriate facilities, preferably located in convenient locations for theseNT students

Consequently, mechanicalengineering students need to be equipped with hands-on experience in instrumentation andmeasurements. This involves conducting physical experiments concerning what measurements to use,how to develop a feasibility study program, how to conduct computer-based data acquisition andanalysis processes, how to validate experimental data for both deterministic and random processes,how to design experiments, and how to disseminate results. There are, however, many obstacles thatmust be overcome in order for this type of process to be successful. The most common
