in various applications. This is preceded by a detailed accountof the mathematical basis of the various rheological models and a consideration of theirrespective limitations. A dedicated website has been created for this project. Measures to ensureease of use and broad utilization include packaging of the interactive Matlab programs in theform of downloadable apps. Furthermore, the provision of downloadable experimental data filesalso broadens the scope of future analysis and presents the potential for lecture-only courses tofeature a lab based activity to engage students in greater depth. This format enables the learningmodules as well as the developed simulation apps, which are also available at the Mathworkswebsite, to be used by external

(JTF)’ is a National Science Foundation (NSF) grant thatincorporates the use of ‘Muddiest Points’, survey data collection, and other tools; in severalengineering material science courses offered at Oregon Institute of Technology. The ‘Just InTime Fast Formative Feedback’ project is in collaboration with several other colleges, includingArizona State University, Oregon State University and North Carolina A&T. The purpose ofJTF is to encourage fast response to students misunderstanding of material. One of the keyelements is ‘Muddiest Points’, which is a survey presented to the students in the classes on aweekly basis to collect what topics within that week’s lecture were challenging to understand, orthat the students wished to learn more

, model calibration, and modelvalidation as well as failure prevention in the context of a diverse set of real world case studies.The emphasis of this course is to teach students in a modular fashion7 the essential concepts ofcomputational tools describing phenomena at different length scales, to perform simulations atdifferent scales, and to bridge all this information together to determine process-structure-properties-performance relations of materials. On successful completion of the assignedcollaborative projects, all students are required to update their learning contributions on theICME CI portal Wiki8, facilitating easy assessment of student achievements. Moreover, using theexample case studies, PowerPoint lectures, computational tools and
