With the school being online, there was a need to look atinnovative ways to find hands-on labs for students which would be related to civil engineering.In this effort, a new model of Origami in materials engineering was developed. Origami is atraditional Japanese art or technique of folding paper into a variety of decorative orrepresentational forms. Typically, origami is thought of as the art of folding paper into animalsor flowers. In recent years, origami has been useful in large- and small-scale engineeringapplications, from large solar arrays in space to tiny medical devices. Origami has also foundapplications in structural engineering. For our module, the students were expected to fold regularprinter paper using the

The traditional undergraduate mechanical engineering curriculum contains a “strength ofmaterials’ course as part of a mechanics sequence. This course will typically follow a “statics”course and precede a “mechanical design” course. In this way, an integration of mechanicsconcepts is attained. Few curricula implement a “strength of materials” laboratory component,and mechanics concepts are learned without connection to the actual parts or materials beingdealt with. By having a lab experience it is possible to reinforce the concepts learned in lecture.Moreover, by including some metallurgical concepts in the “strengths” lab, one can

First off, what is being constrained? When analyzing this course, we realizedthat students do two things hands-on in the lab: data collection and prototype fabrication. Howcould we turn the online forfeiture of these activities into course improvements?Elementary truss design is an interplay between geometry and material. As such, it can beaccomplished with the application of fairly basic engineering theory using standard theoreticalequations and published material specs.
