Alicia Baumann and Haolin Zhu, senior lecturers in the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering, have implemented gamification elements into their engineering courses. Baumann and Zhu added challenges throughout the semester and in different media formats to engage their students’ own learning and motivate them to master course concepts.
Structures of all types are subject to dynamic loads that affect them and potentially alter their integrity. The field of structural dynamics is concerned with predicting and discovering how physical structures behave under such applied loads. Finite element modeling is often used for these tasks. It is a computational process in which a structure is…
