Used to Load BridgeNewA 1000lb Q-Test tensile/compression machine was adapted for use in the bridge testing. Thebottom grip is removed and a support structure put in its place. This structure has a span of 22inches to accommodate the 24 inch long bridge. The upper grip is replaced with a welded steelU- shape. On the bottom of the U are openings for insertion of the steel rod(s). The machine isthen put into compression mode at a constant speed. The software controlling the machine isTestworks 3 from MTS. The loading is much smoother than before and the bridge top staysparallel to the ground. Since using this new method, the students are happier with the testingprocedure. More ‘A’ grades have resulted than with the old tester. The new tester is

This came in response to the question “which of thefollowing alternative energy sources…hold[s] the most promise in easing US dependence onfossil fuels over the next ten years?”6 Within the responses, hydropower also received negligibleresults.

In a design course,procedure is the primary organizing content, thus the course should centre on a procedural task,i.e., developing a prototype from concept generation to analysis, to synthesis, to fabrication,integration, and testing. During this procedure, relevant concepts and theories should bepresented directly related to what the procedure requires. For example, the Reverse EngineeringAssignment, which will be discussed in the next section, is of conceptual type, but choosing thesubject related to the design project ensures the relevance of the developed concept(s) to theprimary procedural content. The same strategy can be applied to the design and

Consider the following quote from page55, “He [reverse engineer] also noted that the letters were so precise they must have beenengraved not by a labourer but by a highly trained craftsman.” Key to the design recoveryprocess was the incorporation of historical and cultural information from that time period.Consider this quote from page 61, “archeologists also studied the rest of the salvaged cargo.Their discoveries help to paint a vivid picture of when the ship sailed, where her load was beingtaken and the sort of world from which she came. From there, we can guess at the origins of theAntikythera mechanism itself, and how it ended up on its final journey.” Thus when relatedhistorical information was combined with direct

”factor(s) is or are, it is the opinion of many critics of entrepreneurship education that the topiccan be taught, but you can’t make someone an entrepreneur who does not have this “different”factor as a function of god’s will or fortunate genetics. As it is sometimes pithily articulated, oneis either born an entrepreneur or not.Legions of entrepreneurship educators around the country have heard this question and havegrown weary of responding. In our opinion, the question furtively is one of those trick questionsthat sounds profound but has no possible satisfactory answer. It’s similar to a question like “Areyou still beating your spouse”? The very attempt to answer the question provides it withundeserved legitimacy. The question about teaching
