Session 2793 Neoclassical Active Learning Approach for Structural Analysis Julio F.Davalos, Christopher J.Moran, Shilpa S.Kodkani West Virginia UniversityAbstractMost beginning students in an introductory structural analysis course do not appear to have asound understanding of fundamental concepts, and in general, students lack the ability tovisualize the deformed shapes of simple structures. One possible reason for this learningdeficiency may be that the classical lecture-mode of teaching by itself may not be sufficient forstudents to grasp basic concepts, and a more active classroom

assigned toan intensified national interest in quality, which was in turn partly being driven byincreased international economic competition. Other initiatives may also be assigned tothose emanating from within the academy. Necessary impetus were from those who aredoing what leaders in any organized enterprise should be doing- asking questions ofpurpose and performance such as: What are we trying to achieve? How good a job are wedoing and how do we know? These are simple but penetrating questions appropriate toany sector of our national life and certainly no less important for all Educationalinstitutions including colleges and universities. Contemporary commentary within andoutside the academy makes clear that the quality of American schools

The PSM curriculumcombines rigorous graduate-level coursework in science, engineering, computerscience, and/or mathematics with workplace-oriented coursework in management,communications, law, marketing, entrepreneurship, or other, so-called “plus”fields. In 2010, the PSM scope was broadened to include engineering
Retaining Women Engineering Faculty – What Do We Know? Linda R. Musser, Pennsylvania State UniversityA recent ASEE Profiles survey reporting on percentages of engineering faculty by rank andgender found that women engineering faculty numbered less than a quarter of all engineeringfaculty in every rank. It went on to speculate that the overall number of women engineers inacademe were unlikely to change in the near future. Why is this the case? Are women engineersnot choosing to pursue academic posts? Are those that do not being retained? If so, why? A2011 study by Mason found that women who planned to have children opted out of the tenuretrack pipeline at research universities in favor of careers that they

These properties have been employed as newplatforms to control, confine, and enhance light-matter interactions in the nanostructures at thesubwavelength level. Besides their lightweights, the simplicity in designing, and well-establishedfabrication process, compared to their three-dimensional counterparts (metamaterials), metasurfaces areof great interest in serving in a variety of real-life applications, such as lenses, imaging, sensing, beamsteering, and solar energy harvesting.
