As expected,the online assessment scores were very high since the students could retake it multiple times. Thehigh score on the written final exam indicates that the students actually learned the material.ConclusionThis paper described the online assessments incorporated into the Introduction to DigitalSystems course at Grand Valley State University. The assessments were used as a mechanism toprovide practice problems with immediate feedback. The students were able to use the onlineassessments to improve their problem solving skills and thus their performance in the course.Bibliography1. S

The purpose of the project isto verify the design stresses or to further refine the design.There are growing concerns for product reliability, weight reduction, and material conservation.Mechanical engineers seek valuable design information on how to modify a part to make itlighter, especially seen in the aerospace industry, and at the same time have fewer stresses.Stress analysis, utilizing photoelastic coating, leads to corrective measures for preventing failure,which usually involves material removal.Proposed project: The weight of a
