In other words, lifting a ten pound weight requires 150 pounds of force to begenerated by the deltoid muscle. One of the main points that students learn with their arm modelis that not all variables are equally important. Students can demonstrate this mathematically byplotting the change in force that would need to be generated by the deltoid muscle in response tochanges in arm length, shape, angle of insertion of the deltoid muscle, and point of insertion ofthe deltoid muscle. Males have a mechanical advantage due to the fact that their deltoid muscleis inserted closer to the elbow than for females. Even with the

Thefocus is on associate degree programs in Engineering Technology, but a major thrust also goes towardsecondary school programs that might lead into associate degrees, and many of the modules could apply aswell to four-year engineering and technology programs.
