To reduce development time, I have been able to repurpose some drawingsfor subsequent exams (eg. the Statics & Dynamics exam in Appendix B was re-written as aphysics exam in Fall 2017), and I use the same final exams each semester. Samples of pastexams are available in Appendices B-E.When selecting a theme, there are several potential approaches. The calendar can suggeststorylines – such as an imaginative costumed child in late October or movies like How theGrinch Stole Christmas in December.

engineering program is that students canconduct mechanical system designs including mechanical component design. To design beam-like components such as beams and shafts, we must analyze the loading conditions on thecomponents, that is, the Shear force and Bending moment diagrams (the S/B diagrams). So, theability to draw the S/B diagrams on beam-like components is an important skill for mechanicalengineering students. In our mechanical engineering program, the S/B diagrams of a beam wereintroduced during Engineering Statics by using the method of sections in the first semester oftheir sophomore year. In the second semester of their sophomore year in the course Mechanicsof Materials, the S/B diagrams were discussed again by using both the method of

dynamic systems governed by second-order ordinary differential equations exhibit a “natural frequency” or does the term apply onlyfor undamped and underdamped systems that experience oscillatory behavior? Does it makesense that a mathematical definition of natural frequency exists without knowing if the systemwill oscillate? Can expressions for undamped natural frequency include dissipative terms? Thispaper presents a series of example problems in which these questions arise.Models and BehaviorMass-Spring-Damper Second-Order System Consider the classical lumped-parameter linear model of a mass-spring-damper system,depicted in Figure 1, with mass m, viscous damping b, linear stiffness k, and applied force F(t).

Two threats to the validity of the data collected by using the think aloud method are; (a)incompleteness due to synchronization problems and (b) invalidity due to problems with workingmemory. Thinking aloud takes place concurrently with the cognitive process, hence a cognitiveprocess takes longer when think aloud method is used. For example, subjects frequently reportthat sometimes verbalization does not keep up with the cognitive process and that their thoughtprocesses may look incomplete or contains “holes” of which it is necessary to assume that anintermediate thought occurred here. The second reason states that “if the task is non-verbal andcomplicated, then verbalization will not only cost time but also space in
