Abstract
An innovation in teaching structural analysis, the "AN/EX" Structural Model Laboratory, has been implemented into the civil engineering curriculum at UMR. The purpose of the AN/EX innovation is to give the students a "hands-on" lab in structural engineering that will help correct some of the deficiencies currently found in engineering design education. In an effort to determine the effectiveness of the "AN/EX" Laboratory at correcting some of the education deficiencies, a rigorous, semester long assessment was conducted. This assessment included an attitude assessment and an ability assessment. The methods and results of both assessments are provided in this report.
