While severalmaterials sciences departments offer coursework for students aligned with principles ofsustainability, few offer laboratory programs aligned with sustainability. A 2012 paper in theMRS Bulletin by Lesar, Chen and Apelian describe how sustainability was woven intocoursework at Iowa State, California Polytechnic, and Worcester Polytechnic 8. While all threeuniversities provided curriculum infusing concepts of sustainable development and the role ofmaterials in a sustainable environment, only California Polytechnic linked it with a project basedlearning opportunity for students in their freshman year 8. In many courses using a theme ofsustainability, emphasis is placed on learning

Forthe teachers involved in the program we describe how participation influenced their leadership,perceptions of adoption educational innovations, and willingness to provide more opportunitiesto engage their students in authentic STEM research.The participants also provided several recommendations for improvement to the summerresearch program. For the students, these included more materials in advance and a morestreamlined onboarding process to allow them to get up to speed on their projects more quickly,consistent access to their supervisors, and work that is

One is studying how strategies of engagement and feedback with support from internet tools and resources affect conceptual change and associated impact on students’ attitude, achievement, and per- sistence. The other is on the factors that promote persistence and success in retention of undergraduate students in engineering.

Prust et al.10 reported student enthusiasm for the flipped modelbut few tangible gains in performance. They hypothesize this is due to a lack of studentengagement with the required materials outside of class.SCALE-UP classrooms are the outgrowth of the Student-Centered Activities for LargeEnrollment Undergraduate Programs Project, funded by the National Science Foundation andvarious commercial partners11,12. SCALE-UP classrooms are configured into groupworkstations, typically including whiteboards, displays, and circular or oval tables.

. However,carefully selected hands-on case studies may provide the opportunity to engage students inmaterials and process selection at each stage of the design process.The use of guided case studies, rather than open ended design challenges (common in upper classand senior design projects), provides students with the opportunity to be active participants in thematerials selection and design process as a limited subset of materials and processing methodscan be made available for hands-on investigation. A suitable case study should be chosen for itssignificance and relevance in modern society. Further, the product should be familiar, allowingstudents to draw on their own experiences, interests, and background knowledge to inform andscaffold the
