Summary and Conclusions This paper presented the salient features of an automated electro-pneumatic control flexible wall truetriaxial testing system being developed that will be used for geotechnical engineering education at Clarksonuniversity during Fall, 1996. Two types of laboratory experiments are developed using this device. The firstexperiment familiarizes the undergraduate with concepts related to static transducer calibration, analog to digitalconversion, signal conditioning, software and hardware gain, and the problems

Opportunities for pre-college students to learn programming concepts can helpdevelop critical thinking and problem solving skills that will enhance their educationalexperiences. Also, conceptual understanding of programming techniques in one language canaid in learning other languages. This project developed an integrated series of programmingtutorials for using Squeak Smalltalk. Squeak Smalltalk is an open-sourced, object-orientedprogramming language that is being used for educational software and through the One-Laptop-per-Child initiative as well as for database and multi-media applications.

AnalysisAbstractFor decades, the gap between academic training and practical skills in structural engineering hasbeen a concern for both practitioners and educators. This disconnect is often attributed to severalfactors including an imbalance in the teaching of analytical and theoretical methods, too much ortoo little exposure to computer software, inadequate focus on developing an intuitiveunderstanding of structures, and a deficiency in nurturing engineering thinking and imaginativeproblem-solving abilities.This paper examines the alignment between industry needs and academic curricula for structuralanalysis education. Recent surveys of practitioners and educators reveal agreement on theimportance of both classical methods and competency with analysis
