A blast deflector to prevent the motor's exhaust from hitting the ground will be used and ensure that dry grass is cleared around each launch pad in accordance with the Minimum Distance table, and increase the distance by a factor of 1.5 if the rocket motor being launched uses titanium sponge in the propellant. • Size: The rocket will not contain any combination of motors that total more than 40,960 N-sec (9208 lb-sec) of total impulse. The rocket will not weigh more at liftoff than one-third of the certified average thrust of the high power rocket motor(s) intended to be ignited at launch. • Flight Safety: The rocket will not be launched at targets, into clouds

a introductory mechanics of materials course is to show the student that forceand elastic deformation analysis of single or multiple connected bodies is based on theapplication of only three fundamental sets of equations:  rigid body equilibrium equations,  material load-deformation equations derived from Hooke’s Law, and  equations defining the known or assumed geometry of deformation.The commonality of a general approach to all problems is emphasized, an approach that isidentical for determinate and indeterminate structures containing axial, torsional and/or bendingloads. This general approach is formulated to emphasize:  identification of applicable fundamental independent equation set(s) being written

The post-program surveyconfirmed that participant exposure to research, ability to develop relevant teaching modules,and overall experience of the program was positive and successful. The RET participants willconduct their new teaching lesson(s) across the 2010-11 academic year. In order to achievebroader impacts beyond individual classrooms, the teachers are also encouraged to present totheir fellow teachers at a

distresses are unique and complicated. Thus, there is no ideal procedure to identify orevaluate concrete distresses. In contrast to some sophomore and junior level courses which focuson fundamentals of materials, this class uses the PBL approach in addition to lectures, andthereby enables students to confront open-ended workplace problems. To promote criticalthinking through the course of the whole class, the instructor emphasized the point that inaddition to being aware of the options in the “Tool Box”, it is equally (if not more) important tobe cognizant of what “Tool(s)” to use. As there are various equipment or approaches that can beused to evaluate concrete distresses or to repair or strengthen existing concrete structures, inorder to promote

In these scenarios, this cohort demands less and willcost less to employ than their non-retired younger counterparts.As we chronologically mature, as humans we tend to go through somewhat predictable patterns.In our 30’s, we generally are collecting those material items we perceive to be required orwanted.
