Evaluations were based on the following criteria: (a) how supportivethe teacher recommendation was of the applicant, (b) the extent to which the applicant’s personalstatement indicated an interest in attending a chemical engineering camp, and (c) the level ofclasses taken and grades earned by the applicant. After the assistant director had narrowed thepool of admissible applicants to those students who were highly qualified for and enthusiasticabout the program, the WiE director reviewed this group of applications and collaborated withthe assistant director to determine which students would be admitted into

Elastic materials: students explored the connection betweenthe spring constant and Young’s modulus. Particulate nature of matter: By modeling a solid assmall masses connected by springs, students calculated the interatomic spring constant usingYoung’s modulus and estimated atomic spacing. (Interestingly, the stiffness of the interatomicbond for typical metals is comparable to the stiffness of springs that the students use in theHooke’s law activity.) Students were pressed to distinguish proportionality from linearrelationships, that is, recognize the significance of the intercept. (b) Quadratic relationships.Students investigated

Secondly, could I make the the clockwise as the positive sense instead of the negative on as it shows here? Thirdly, I think I found a mistake in EXAMPLE: Quantifying Couples 5. It forgets to mention the force E involved in order to for me to find another correct force to balance forces A,b,c,d and E. The most confusing part of this module for me was under "Quantifying Couples". I understand why the Couple Moment can only occur when the net force is equal to zero and when there is a perpendicular distance between the two opposite and equal forces. But, I
