Of the remaining courses, those in which at least 25% of the course gradewas determined by team-based activities (i.e. team-based labs, projects, etc.) as defined on thecourse syllabi were placed in the technical team-based group. Finally, the remaining courseswere placed in the technical lecture group. The course breakdown for each group can be seen inTable 1. Courses in the technical-team group met the criteria in different manners. IntroEngineering 1 and 2 have a heavy emphasis on team-based projects, Chemistry 1 and 2 have alarge in-lab component, while Intro Computer Science has an emphasis on in-lab, pairedprogramming work.Table 1.

analysis have been developed or been the subject of studies. The intent ofthis study was to gain insight into and document how a physical truss manipulative affectsstudents’ understanding of internal forces. Some studies suggest that analysis of internal forces isdifficult for students – leading to a series of errors commonly made by students.16 The emphasiswas on seeking feedback from students to learn how they used the manipulative, rather thanseeking to quantify their improvements. This qualitative study contributes to the ongoingevidence-based research of physical manipulatives in engineering.Context of the StudyThe project was presented to the students in the statics class, and six volunteers were selectedrandomly from the statics courses

A historical challenge with artificialhip replacements has been that the stiffer artificial femoral component shields the surroundingbone from stresses during physiological activities. This phenomenon, known as “stressshielding,” results in bone resorption that can lead to implant failure
