showed that there have been several significant projects that bringstructural experiments into the classroom. None that we are aware of, however, attempts toexpand this idea across the curriculum; they are all directed at individual courses. The majorityfocus on structural design in a generic sense or on structural analysis, whereas the StructuralEngineering Workshop focuses on the behavior of real structural components to failure. The“Integrated Teaching and Learning Laboratory” at University of Colorado5 upends the idea ofbringing physical models into the classroom. The building itself is instrumented, so studentscould conceivably experiment with occupant-induced loadings or see interesting data when thewind off the Front Range is unusually

It is our belief that part of theproblem with K-12 science education is that teachers do not know how to relate the science theyare teaching to real world experiences. To deal with that issue, we created a new three-hourcourse in engineering problem solving specifically designed for education majors. They areshown how to solve real world engineering problems and how to teach such subject matter totheir own future students.Using the theme “Our Material World”, the authors integrated concepts involving the physical,mechanical and chemical behavior of materials as a means to teach engineering problem solvingskills.

To help students navigatethrough the Ansys Fluent software, the laboratory introduces various topics during the initialphase of the course. Below is a list of topics that are introduced to students during the first part ofthe laboratory: • Applications • Results (velocity, pressure density) • Steps for problem solving (pre-analysis, geometry, mesh, model setup, numerical results and solution

Experiments in the rovinglaboratory are to be carried out in class, in two different on-campus facilities, and in the field.Experiments are used by the instructor to motivate each and every theoretical discussion in class,to teach students how to plan, conduct and interpret their own experiments, and to exposestudents to important emerging areas of experimental mechanics. Students are then required todesign and implement a vibration test. The original offering of this course only had 14 students,and it is not clear if this approach is scalable to larger classes.It is clear that experimental vibration analysis is an important tool for identifying dynamicproperties

The oscillating behavior of the residual that signifies non-convergence was discussed and the technique of successive overrelaxation (SOR) [see Anderson(1995)], that is often used to improve convergence, was presented.LaboratoriesThe intent of the laboratory portion of the course was to teach the students to solve somewhatcomplicated fluid dynamics problems using commercially available CFD software
