As such, it is on the syllabi of nearly all sophomore-level mechanics of materials courses,including the mechanical engineering technology course under consideration here. Within thelecture setting, FPB theory is developed from free-body diagram through beam deflection. Theoryis reinforced by analytical practice solving related homework problems 1-3. The corresponding FPBlaboratory has afforded students the opportunity to experimentally and
. Traditionally, engineering has significantly fewerfemales enrolled than their male counterparts. Various reasons have been investigated to thisend [5,6], with one being that certain areas of science and engineering, are not appealing tofemale students. It has also been shown that young women tend to choose careers which have ahuman element. By using specially designed experiments, these gender issues can be addressedin a very non-invasive way. MEMS is useful to this end in the following ways. First, it is a very‘clean’ technology. One must not get their hands dirty to participate. Actually the converse istrue, one must take special measures to ensure that one does not contaminate the MEMS andcause failure to occur. In addition, MEMS devices can be used
