TPP 404 is 175-hours of student teaching, approx. 20 hours per week, in a local middle or high school. Students assume increasing control of instruction with support of a host teacher. Assignments include research on classroom and school context and an analysis of a small unit of instruction taught in the final weeks of the semester. The course focuses on the role of classroom context in the teaching and learning process; instructional planning; and teacher reflection. TPP 404 counts as two courses and allows students to satisfy University course count requirements for graduation when taking TPP 403 and TPP 404 in spring of their senior year.

The Seminar on Education-Theory and Practice is designed to compliment Practice Teaching (TPP 406). Students will read and reflect on educational research and reflect on how to best integrate theory and practice in the reality of their school setting and content areas with an emphasis on instructional planning and evaluation of student learning. Course topics include asset pedagogies related to culture, language use, and (dis)ability, academic language development, unit planning and assessment, education policy, and the philosophy of education. Students enroll in the seminar concurrently with TPP 406.

Supervised practice teaching (a minimum of 12 weeks) in a local school. Teaching is done under the supervision of an accomplished teacher and a program staff member who regularly observes and discusses the student's practice teaching. Students gain firsthand experience in developing teaching strategies, planning and differentiating instruction, assessing student learning, and classroom management. Must be taken concurrently with TPP 405. TPP 406 counts as two courses by the University.

Fundamental principles of solid mechanics: equilibrium equations, reactions, internal forces, stress, strain, Hooke's law, torsion, beam bending and deflection, and deformation in simple structures. Integrates aspects of solid mechanics with applications to mechanical and aerospace structures (engines and wings), and microelectronic and biomedical devices (thin films). Topics include stress concentration, fracture, plasticity, fatigue, visco-elasticity and thermal expansion. The course synthesizes descriptive observations, mathematical theories, and engineering consequences. Two 90-minute lectures. Prerequisites: MAT 104, and PHY 103.

Core laboratory course for concentrators, who carry out experiments in the fields of digital electronics, fluid mechanics, and dynamics. Students also complete an independent research project. Continuation of the laboratory component of 221; a combined final grade will be issued based upon laboratory work in both 221 and 224. Prerequisite: MAT 104, MAT 202, MAE 221 Typically taken concurrently with 222. One three-hour laboratory, one class.
