Saint-Venant’s principle says that if you move away from concentrated loads by a distance equal to the width of the specimen, the stress can be treated as uniform. Do your observations support that principle?ENGRD 2020 Discussion Activity —4—Appendix B: Step by step (SbS) version of the lab handout Uniaxial Tension Test Group Members: Goals: During this uniaxial tension test, you will: • develop a better understanding of the concepts of stress and strain; • learn how to measure elastic modulus

Students have daily homework assignments, computer lab work, exams,and an engineering-related group project and final presentation. Upper-level engineeringstudents, hired as tutors, assist students each week night to provide guidance and support onhomework assignments and projects. In addition to the academic components of the FYSE program, the program seeks tocultivate community and a network of support among each FYSE cohort (see Appendix B forsample schedule).

Many campuses have been besieged bywhite supremacist activity seeking to incite violence and attract media attention.In this climate, many of today’s students are encountering conversations around difference,power, and privilege amid a flurry of alt-right propaganda, exposed in a new way to overtlyracist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic, or ableist ideas through newmedia.
