need of involved mathematical models to capture various aspects of polymer materialdeformation characteristics. Later in graduate level coursework (MME 623) the students aregiven a GUI tool, as shown in Figure 5, for a more advanced VBO material model14. Theaforementioned viscoelastic basics can also be used in this course as a pre-requisite primer onmaterial modeling and fundamental governing equations. The vertical integration of thesemodules is beneficial in understanding various aspects and complexity of polymeric materials,their constitutive mathematical models and deformation behavior. Figure 5: More advanced GUI tool for the VBO model.Assessment plans and preliminary results The assessment of the overall

videos are used to help clarify a topic, it should be limited to two to five minutes in length. If there is something that is very complex then iy can be stretched another minute or two, but generally no longer than five minutes total. Our team is now working on expanding a database of brief videos that we can all pull from to clarify the ‘Muddiest Points’. These can be made right in the classroom with a student or teachers assistant as the lecturing person giving a PowerPoint explanation. If the video is focused and on point then this method is very effective. Another tool that the team is planning on incorporating into their JTF project is a Pencast. A Pencast is a ‘smart pen’ that connects with a computer so

or not.This was followed by a (very) short presentation of what the instructor would have done using aKeynote slide presentation.Demonstrations: We used the demonstrations that were typically planned for that part of thesyllabus as a method of group inquiry. We either asked the groups to predict what would happenin our demonstration, or we asked them the explain why we observed the phenomenon that justoccurred. For example, to demonstrate the bcc to fcc phase transformation in pure iron uponheating or cooling we had fixed a length of piano wire (very low carbon steel) to two posts.Passing ac current through it with a Variac heated it resistively. We first asked the student topredict what would happen. Then we did the experiment and asked
