simulation to perform virtual tensile tests on platinumnanowires and analyze the results using interactive methods. The simulations are performedonline using the nano-Materials Simulation Toolkit on nanoHUB.org7. This tool provides asimple and intuitive graphical interface to a research-grade molecular dynamics code denotedCMDF7,8. During the laboratory, different diameter platinum nanowires could be chosen and thetemperature and strain rate could be defined by the students. Results from these tests consisted ofstress vs. time curves and images of the nanowire at different times during the simulated tensiletest. For the laboratory, a specific strain rate and temperature (300 K) were defined, but thestudents were encouraged by the teaching assistant

may also face administrative resistance. It is likely that suchchallenges will increase for cases in which teaching teams require expertise from more than onetraditionally defined discipline and must cross departmental or college lines.ConclusionsIn conclusion, this paper described ENGR 314: Materials & Mechanics and the associatedintegrative semester long team project that combines traditional content of both materials scienceand mechanics of materials. In addition to the project, the course includes experiential learning inthe form of hands-on laboratories for material characterization and mechanical analysis. ENGR314: Materials & Mechanics provides students with a unique opportunity to recognize the topicsof materials science and

group has to discuss their data and what theirresults mean in context of larger objectives of the lab. Since laboratories are collaborative multi-weekthemed projects, student may be at different points in their experimental process from week to week.There are rules for discourse and these are modeled for students by Teaching Assistant(TA) andInstructor. Peer students may ask only clarifying questions of the students and cannot make any othercomments. Within the speaking group, each member must speak, and groups have three minutes todiscuss their data without interruption. There is then three minutes of clarifying questions from peers. Thegoals for the discourse are to have students formulate, elaborate, analyze, evaluate and apply a

This would then require them to investigate the mechanicalproperties of the component materials and relate them to the product performance, the life cycle,manufacturing process and the environmental impact. This work summarizes the overallexperience of the students on the material and process selection for a wide range of commercialproducts and possible ways to improve the teaching of this course.INTRODUCTIONThis work is an attempt to create awareness in early engineering students as to how materials andmanufacturing processes are chosen for different consumer products. To this end, the projectcomponent of a sophomore course dealing with reverse engineering has
