broadly about the issues at hand. Wheeler andMcDonald also point out that the writing process mirrors the engineering design process:numerous alternatives are possible, there is no one correct answer, and a good product usuallyrequires a fair amount of iterative revision. Furthermore, the prominent cognitive psychologist, L.S. Vygotsky, theorizes that human thought and consciousness are inextricably linked to language.2 Thought and word are inseparable as language is the tool we use for knowledge constructionand higher-level reasoning. As Kerka pens, “Writing is a critical ingredient in meaning making,enabling learners to articulate connections between new information and what they alreadyknow.”3 Thus, writing can be a powerful method to

By presenting a series of pertinent intermediate values used tocalculate the final answer, each MechANEX module aids students in troubleshooting their handcalculations when results do not match. Even when the discrepancy between software resultsand hand calculations is nothing more than a sign error, this checking process can help studentsto recognize fundamental misconceptions they might have with respect to a particular courseconcept.(4) Students gain a greater appreciation for the multidisciplinary nature of statics.

For thestudent, the co-op experience provides “hands-on” engineering experiences as part of theirformal education. For the employer, the co-op program provides access to a skilled, short-termcost-effective workforce, and equally important, the opportunity to evaluate and recruit potentialfull-time employees.

It has been estimated that the body cannot probe any more than 5 Å below thesurface of any material. Therefore, it is not surprising that a lot of biomaterials researchis focused on surface chemistry.There are many sophisticated methods available to measure surface properties, but thesimplest is to estimate surface properties by what is called a sessile drop test. That is, toput a small drop of a liquid on the surface of the material and directly measure themaximum angle the drop makes with the surface. The sessile drop test measures what iscalled the
