Since each member of a structure must be designed to withstand the mostsevere conditions that can possibly develop during the lifetime of the structure, the design ofstructures subjected to moving loads must be based on the maximum forces that are developed as theload moves across the structure. The analysis of such structures involves the determination of thepositions of the loads that produce the maximum response (e.g., reaction, shear force, or bendingmoment) in the member and the computation of the maximum value of the response. It is important tonote that the critical positions for placing moving loads will not be the same for each member. Also,the placement of

This type of reflection-in-action resonates with Billy Koen’s definition of theengineering method as “the use of heuristics to cause the best change in a poorly understoodsituation within the available resources” 7. In other words, good engineers are those who practicereflection-in-action; engineering educators can help by emphasizing that much engineeringproblem solving involves dealing with “poorly understood situations” where reflection helpswith understanding of both the problem and the practitioner.V.

Indeed, as their studies delve deeper into upper division courses, matters evolvefrom conceptually straightforward (i.e., statics) to more sophisticated (deformable) andpotentially abstract (thermodynamics). Challenges can arise correcting mistaken preconceptions,and linking perceptually-abstract mathematical formulas to real-world examples.

Modify the content of the lecture and lab courses so that the material presented in each course more closely aligns. 2. Create a “flipped classroom” where students watch prerecorded lectures at home, leaving all class time for hands-on activities and labs that apply the lecture material. 3.
