. It'snecessary in phase diagrams to prevent clutter and confusion, but students can benefit by seeingdatapoints on S/N fatigue curves and in graphs of Charpy impact energy vs. temperature. In suchgraphs, data points help students understand the degree of scatter that is normally found in thesemechanical tests.Some limitations of graphing software can be overcome by changing default settings on fonts,standard symbols, line thicknesses, hard-to-read vertically-oriented text, or a legend that fails tolist symbols in the same order as they appear on the graph. Other limitations are best overcomeby converting a graph to artwork.This paper demonstrates ways to improve the quality of engineering graphs used in materialseducation by comparing many examples of

question is “Whichphase(s) are present at point G and in what fractions?” A figure would be included in this questionin which students interpret and use to answer the question.In the traditional class, there were three high stake exams which means a student’s final gradein the class relied heavily on these exams. The percentage of each test in the traditional classcontributed to 75% of total grade, 25% for each of the three exams. Figure 4 shows thepercentage of incorrect questions according to type, split up by the three different exams fromthe traditional class. When observing the total percentage of questions wrong, Figure 4 showsthat students struggled the least with Exam 1, the second least with Exam 2, and the most withExam 3. Figure 4

Specifically, learnerswere asked if the following characteristics apply to their feelings on their favorite materials labexperience and what made an activity stand out, where an “Other” answer was provided as anoption for learners to add an additional typed-out answer not otherwise listed. The specific questionprompts are numbered as follows, referenced in the horizontal axis of Figure 7: 1. The activities were fun 2. Your attention was kept for the duration of the lab 3.

as one question in thefinal exam showed that the students benefitted from this lab. There were only 9 students in theclass and so a robust assessment to prove the success and benefits of this lab. However, studentreflections and student work give a good insight to encourage the continuation of this lab in thein-person mode.References:[1] S.

providedvalues for these respective parameters, do some algebra, and punch the values into a calculator. Understanding this equation is more complicated. Memorization is necessary, but, inaddition, what each parameter in the equation means or represents is required (for example,providing a written definition or explanation for each parameter).1Question-Based Understanding How are concept-understanding exercises implemented in an introductory materialsscience and engineering course? What kind(s) of assignments can an instructor provide to helpstudents come to understandings of important concepts? To reiterate, for the student, developingunderstandings of concepts (i.e., thinking and pondering) are toilsome activities for the learner.Whereas
