aids’ is alast main aspect that academics gave feedback on. They felt those, especially the poster charts,which support the teaching for explaining concepts during the laboratory classes.From these case studies, it seems TRW inspire academics to develop and improve their courses,by using the resources available and to inspire many other academics by contributing with theirown resources to TRW.Subjects CoveredThe Teaching Resources Website contains a collection of hundreds of exercises, teaching aidsand background reading material on the topic of materials across many different disciplines andfor all years of study.Introductory and advanced resources have been developed for the following engineeringsubjects: Materials Science, Industrial Design

She conducts educational research where she has creatively works to change educational instruction in laboratory courses by introducing topics in sustainability us- ing case studies. In 2010 she led the NCA&T team that developed the National 4-H Science Youth Day experiment which was used to teach millions of K-8 students about water quality, energy use, and global warming. Her work and research involvement includes over $2,000,000 of research funding. To date she has received a number of teaching and research awards including the 2005 National Women of Color in

It is a3-credit course held each fall semester followed by a 1-credit laboratory during the following spring Page 23.56.2semester. When the author taught this course using a traditional lecture approach, it was noticed thatstudents were very focused on memorizing materials science information. The students were moreinterested in knowing how to solve a problem rather than understanding the problem and the concepts. Inaddition, there was a lack of excitement and student-centered
