Failures-
Stepping stones to success 33
 42mph

The failure (7/11/1940) was due to an aerodynamically

induced condition of self-excitation or "negative
damping" & not due to resonance (physics books).
Addressing this issue in an engineering context requires use of
wind tunnel models. Thus was born Bridge Aerodynamics.

Changes in engineering learning
experiences involving curricula,
pedagogies, and support services
should be based on research
on learning

Not by squeezing subjects, shifting

few hours here & there, including
subjects on which books are
written by committee members 35
