research paper explores how undergraduate engineering students utilize socialcapital through the resources of a cohort program. Presented are the emerging themes generatedfrom the data featuring descriptions of which parts of the cohort program were meaningful toundergraduate engineering students. This paper draws on social capital theory as an anti-deficitapproach to guide the development of educational systems that support historically excludedstudents leveraging, developing, and utilizing relationships. The 16 participants in this studywere in a four-year-long cohort and took part in focus groups at the end of each semester. Thiswork focuses on the first two focus groups, representing the participants' first year in theirengineering programs

It seems only reasonable to attempt to solve verysmall academic-type textbook FEA problems with a pencil, paper, and calculator. CommercialFEA software, such as ANSYS1, has advanced to the point that a person with essentially nobackground in vibration theory or in the fundamentals of the finite element method can readilyobtain solutions for vibration characteristics of complicated structures. It seems, however, that acompetent engineer should have an understanding of the basis for the software calculations andenough knowledge of vibration theory to notice when software results are unreasonable.MATLAB2, a widely-used software package, is a very useful
