Analysis of Structural Frames Subjected to Static LoadsA two-dimensional frame is composed of two columns and a beam as shown in Fig. 1 (a). Theright column is subjected to a lateral uniform distributed load, and two vertical concentrated loadsare applied to the beam at the top. At point B, column AB is rigidly connected to beam BC,allowing moment transfer between the beam and the column members. At point C, column CD ispinned to the beam, so no moment is transferred. A special “Connector Section” had to be createdin Abaqus to establish the proper connection between column CD and beam BC as depicted in Fig.1 (b). The resulting

, students may take Heat Transfer and Thermo IIsimultaneously, though the suggested route is to take Thermo I in the 4th semester, Thermo II inthe 5th semester, and Heat Transfer in the 6th semester. Students typically take ESD in the 7th or8th (final) semester. Throughout 2020 until Spring 2022, Thermo I was relatively un-monitored,with multiple professors and multiple TAs teaching various sections. However, in the Spring2022 semester, the class was heavily directed. Three different instructors taught 3 differentsections. Two instructors (A and B) used nearly identical notes, while a third instructor (C) useda different set of notes. However, all three Spring 2022 instructors gave the same homework andexams, allowing for slight variation of exam

requires that students go through several projects and gain design skills. For our students, the capstone project is the first large project where they learn these skills. The basics are taught in a separate course or through a seminar. 5) No Plan B on hand when things go wrong. During their final presentation, a team will often advise new teams to have a "Plan B” and even a "Plan C" to deal with technical problems that may arise. This recommendation illustrates that teams often face serious obstacles and need to go back and redesign their system, or use a different hardware component. 6) Problems with presentation skills.
