The front framing support was designed in an effort to create maximum rigidity for theforces incurred by spring and turning functions. There were three areas of concern that couldpotentially affect the integrity of the member. The first one was the compressive force of thespring acting upwards on the center of the support. The second area of concern was due to lateralforces that may be put on the support due to turning or any shift from side to side that is mayencounter. The last area of concern was stresses that may be formed from impacts caused

The future will inevitably bring unanticipated crises; engineers will need toidentify the problems and collaboratively formulate innovative, feasible solutions. This researchhypothesizes that service-learning can serve as a mechanism that will allow students to developthe necessary problem solving skills. To investigate this hypothesis, an education assessmentinstrument is employed to examine whether students who have participated in service-learningprojects have stronger analytical, practical, and creative abilities than students who have onlybeen exposed to the conventional
