EducationSolid Mechanics The focus in Solid Mechanics is the visualization of stress/strain contours on prismatic bodiesresulting from user-generated single or combined loadings. Major concepts include1. Axial stress and strain2. Torsion - shear stress and angle of twist3. Beam deflections, bending moments, bending stress4. Combined loadings The Visual Cantilever Beam (Figure 3) and the Visual Simply Supported Beam (Figure 4),both interfaced with computer visualization software, will enhance teaching of these concepts.The Simply Supported Beam will be used specifically for illustrating concepts of beam deflection,bending moments and bending, shear and combined stresses. The Cantilever Beam will be usedfor individually illustrating axial, torsional

This lab experiment led to a class discussion on balancing the environmental and economicpillars of sustainability and highlighted the complexity of switching to alternative energysources. In the solar energy collection lab, the students used small solar panels to collect energyfrom an overhead light source, studying the position and pitch. The experiment demonstratedhow light is collected with solar panels and subsequently used to generate electricity, while alsodemonstrating the efficiency of typical collectors. Finally, a laboratory-scale pyrolysis reactorwas constructed to demonstrate and study

Iteach, whether they be at a university or at a technical conference.Overall, I believe that the students of today are much better prepared for the world ofengineering than I was at their age. However, in teaching them over these past few years, I haveuncovered some weaknesses in their math skills, that I had initially missed. These weaknesses, Ibelieve are the result of the availability and use of power math tools, such as Excel®,MATLAB®, MINITAB®, etc. This paper is not to suggest that these tools are not useful, on thecontrary, they form a foundation for modern engineering and science. However, theiravailability and power may be some of the cause of the math weaknesses I observed. This paperalso does not suggest that these students are less

When presenting material requiring complex sketches, handouts areentirely appropriate, but if the sketch is not too complex, a hand-drawn sketch on the chalkboardis used. This keeps students active in note-taking, sketch preparation
