COURSE EVALUATIONS: A SURVEY OF STUDENTS, ADMINISTRATORS, AND FACULTY Charles McIntyre and Rhonda Magel North Dakota State UniversityIntroductionThe use of student evaluation data has dramatically increased during the past 20 years (Langbein1994; Wachtel 1998; Sheehan and DuPrey 1999). A fundamental concern of student evaluationsfocuses on the validity of the data (Greenwald 1997; Langbein 1994). However, many argue thatstudent ratings of instruction provides some of the best measures of teaching effectiveness (Trout2000; Theall and Franklin 2001). This debate continues at a time when increasing tuition andother related costs of higher education have put

Building a Load-bearing Truss for Introductory Statics Course Ahmet Coskun, Mehdi Abedi, and Kai-tak Wan* Mechanical & Industrial Engineering Northeastern University, Boston, MA 02115Abstract The term project for Statics is to design and construct a load bearing truss. Groups with 5members use toothpicks and wood glue to construct a 3-dimensional structure to hold ahemispherical metal shell above a circular hole in a substrate. A universal testing machine appliesan external compression until the truss collapses or reaches its maximum load capacity. Each trusswill be evaluated based on ultimate breakage load, failure mode analysis, cost analysis
