Semester Design Competition: Students were required to reverse engineer a double leaf spring cantilever beam utilizing 3D printing or waterjet plastic materials. Each student group designed and built their springs and compared them to the original design during class. The design with the\u00a0 stiffness value that most closely matched with the original design’s stiffness was declared the champion (“spring king\/stiffness princess”) for the semester.<\/p>\n
