In typical protocol analyses the researchers commence with a pre-existingcoding scheme and modify it based on the task and events in the current protocol. In this projectwe will use a principled coding scheme based on the FBS ontology developed by Gero andcolleagues (Gero, 1990; Gero & Kannengiesser, 2004). The FBS ontology contains three types ofvariables: Function (F), Behavior (B) and Structure (S). Function (F) represents the designintentions or purposes of the design; behavior (B) represents the object’s attributes that can beeither directly derived from a representation of the object (Bs) or expected to be derived

During the game,the rules of football are basically followed, with the exception of scoring changes enacted toencourage passing.The major challenges involved in design for this project are roughly as follows: a) Robustness – it is one thing to design a remote-controlled robot, but to make it robust enough to withstand multiple impacts and still function is a considerably more difficult task. b) Weight vs. Power – students must balance the desire for more powerful batteries and motors with the weight restriction. c) Teamwork – students must work together in designing the robots, as the rules for interface between robots are intentionally vague. d) Ball transfer – the ball must be “snapped” to the quarterback

Finally, Smith remarks: “During the past 90 years, nearly 600 experimental and over 100 correlational studies have been conducted comparing the effectiveness of cooperative, competitive, and individualistic efforts. These studies have been conducted by a wide variety of researchers in different decades with different age subjects, in different subject areas, and in different settings. More is known about the efficacy of cooperative learning than about lecturing, the fifty-minute class period, the use of instructional technology, or almost any other aspect of education. Cooperation among students typically results in (a) higher achievement and greater productivity, (b) more caring

NRC observed that all new learning involves transfer based on previous learning5.Transfer is a degree of understanding beyond memorization; it indicates the ability to processinformation and integrate knowledge in new contexts. Three influences for successful transferinclude (a) the degree of mastery of the original matter, (b) transfer, and (c) time to learn.Without an adequate level of initial learning, transfer cannot take place. It was also observedthat the time to learn is proportional to the amount of material being learned. Bandura observedsimilar developmental stages in his social learning theory6.

This relationship istypically called as element properties. We used a 1D element with two nodes during lecturing toshow this process. This example is displayed for the reference in Appendix B.4) Assembling the global equationsNow that the object has been divided into many independent finite elements. It should beemphasized that the shared nodes on adjacent elements are joined together and the shared nodeson adjacent elements have the exact same deformation.

Student Xstudies for three hours and ultimately earns a B- on the exam. That was fairly efficient – smallamount of resources (time) was used for an acceptable grade – but not necessarily very effectiveas the desired outcome is an A. Student Y studies for ten hours and ultimately earns an A on theexam. That is very effective but could be viewed as inefficient. In this scenario, the amount ofresources used is not so important as each student had an entire day available. The importantthing is getting to the desired outcome.

When students had problem with theaxisymmetric model, they used the 2-D model which could give them results.
