Perfect app for curious minds -- young and old alike! – Truss Me! Review

I am an aerospace engineering student at a rigorous university in the United States. I take pride in studying hard and learning the material in traditional ways, but I would also highly encourage teachers and college professors to introduce this type of technology (of which TrussMe! is a prime example) into their teaching methodology. As many of you well know, the first few years of undergraduate education are meant to solidify the fundamentals and develop the students' intuition to solve more complex problems in their upper level courses and professional careers. Often, for the majority of students, structural labs are the first exposure to experimental, constraint-driven, design-minded challenges. This app is an excellent way to anticipate and smooth out that transition from textbook problems to the machine shop, as well as an inexpensive solution to their early sketches, analysis validation, and virtual prototypes. On a side note, I got this app for my dad for Christmas too. He's never had an opportunity to attend college like me, but he's the tinkerer-type... He absolutely loved TrussMe! And man, what an intuition he already has!
