Darvennes Tennessee Technological University, Cookeville, TennesseeAbstractAn undergraduate vibration course has been presented in a modular form to improve studentparticipation and understanding. The new modular format highlights the key concepts and toolsrequired to perform vibration analysis on both single (SDOF) and multiple degree-of-freedom(MDOF) systems. The traditional approach, placing MDOF late in the semester, emphasizes theSDOF model and leaves the students with an oversimplified view of

The ratingscale for all six questions is 1-5, with 5 corresponding to the top option (i.e., best performance). Foreach student, we average the ratings of their teammates for the six categories which gives us an overallpeer evaluation rating. Note that a student’s self-ratings are excluded. The result is an overall ratingof 1-5, with a rating of 3 being average. A rating of 3 equates to 85 points or a B on our scale.In addition, the instructors read all the comments to ensure they are professional and appropriate.Comments are edited as necessary.

The practice is typically presented in theformat of an online quiz. Some practice questions present new concepts directly in the question,like the ‘hotspot’ instrument question shown in Figure 3a.
