structures that are in the open atmosphere are subjected to self-weight and wind loads. Theinvestigation of an industrial pressure vessel can be vital from the security perspective based onits configuration such as its buttress at the base level and wind speeds. In this study, an industrialpressure vessel with a relatively low aspect ratio (height versus width) subjected to varying‘steady’ wind loads has been analyzed to check for its dynamic stability. The pressure vessel inthis current condition is standing on its three equidistant legs. The pressure vessel is assumed tobe filled with material to simulate critical condition in the case of static and strength analysis.SolidWorks and ANSYS software were used to compare the results of this analysis

Theoreticalcontributions may be made as part of the experimental research, but the primary focus is onexposing the students to a positive experience and allowing them to apply new knowledge, whilepreparing them for their future. Another program focuses on having students be involved infunded research projects [3]. In this latter case, students work on unanswered questions that arecrucial elements of research investigations currently underway [3]. In several programs, it iscommon for the URP student to have a peer advisor. In some instances, the undergraduate maybe assisting a graduate student on research and the graduate student acts as the advisor [6].The publish materials on assessment and evaluation of URP experiences primarily focus on the

to solve such a problem, we introduce MATH 101, an innovativeremedial mathematics course for first-year engineering students. The main objective of thiscourse is to reinforce the student’s mathematical background while taking into account hisparticular strengths and areas of opportunity. To achieve this, MATH 101 has two keycharacteristics: it is virtual and adaptive [4], i.e., the course platform designs a unique learningpath [5] for each student based upon a diagnostic test and constant assessment.In addition to the features mentioned above, it is important to note that MATH 101 is acombination of audiovisual material and teaching-learning activities.

effectiveness of an engineering curriculum is measured by how well studentscan apply and integrate their technical knowledge to solve real life problems. The currentengineering curriculum has been designed to only to provide the theory, however, it doesn’tprovide the integration of how this knowledge can be applied. The courses that are taken aspreparation for system engineering students include standard mechanical studies such asstatics, dynamics, and structural analysis, but also, computer software and hardwarecourses that study C programming, circuit analysis and electronics. These types ofcollegiate engineering classes that are taken on a general level in all system engineeringdisciplines, are supposed to provide the theory that is needed to build

besides science-based fields. On the other hand, the results also point out some deficiencies of concept mapping, such as the less frequent interaction between students and the teacher, the difficulty of course content absorption for students, and the necessary to prepare more efficient and active course material for teachers. Furthermore, the physical learning environment is another important factor within students’ learning process through concept mapping instruction. Consequently, with positive feedbacks and negative shortages, students still agree concept mapping instruction did improve their learning performance, thinking abilities, and problem solving abilities as well.

If the structure is not adequate acatastrophic failure is possible with great economic loss and loss of life. On the other hand, ifexcess structure is incorporated, the ship will be larger than needed resulting in increased costand increased fuel consumption over the life of the vessel. This is a compounding problem asadditional structure requires a larger hull which requires larger engines which require larger fueltanks which require a larger ship which requires more structure, etc. This is a part of what isreferred to as the ship design spiral (an iterative approach to ship
