All participants inthis research were engineering or prospective engineering students enrolled in an entry-levelengineering course typically covering the general area of “statics”. Course content material wasdrawn from standard college-level solid mechanics textbooks. In-class labs were conducted ingroups of 4-6 students and included hands-on, interactive experiences such as interpreting forceswithin stacked Jenga Blocks™ or calculating forces on a longboard. The course also includedtwo major projects. Project 1 involved a four-person team building a 24 cm span model trussbridge which was then loaded to failure. Project 2 involved two person teams doing independentresearch on an engineering

Example 2: Non-Destructive Inspection System for Defects QuantificationThis approach was developed to accurately detect any abnormality such as cracks orcorrosion that could lead to mechanical failure. Traditional means of testing have requiredextensive hardware set-up, software, and time consuming assembling and disassemblingthe various components of the system. Often the failure part is embedded and hard toreach, and there may not be a simple way for detecting it. In this project, a non-destructive inspection approach was designed using image processing.

One long-term objective was that the teachers use some of the material they learned to change the way theyteach various subjects during the school year.

departments of a university and anindustry, we would discourage university researchers from pursuing fully proprietary work as itviolates the academic spirit of publication. As previously noted, the most tangible results ofresearch conducted at a university are publications. To complete an advanced degree where athesis is required, the thesis must be made public. However, in many instances, informationprovided to university researchers is proprietary and must be treated as such. The key to resolving this issue is an early understanding of what is publishable and whatis not. Well before any agreement is reached, the scope of the publishable research content (e.g.,the material that can be reported in a thesis) should be discussed in detail and
