resultshave direct implications for engineering curriculum design and teaching practices; in short, it iscritical that students are given reasonably difficult tasks that incorporate physical testing, aregiven time for multiple iteration cycles, and are supported as they design.IntroductionEngineering educators seek to engage learners in authentic engineering practices, includingtesting and iterating on designs (NAE and NRC, 2009). Failure is an integral part of the iterationcycle in the engineering design process; designs often fail, that is, do not meet all criteria andconstraints, and a central disciplinary practice in engineering is interpreting this failure asfeedback on those designs (Lottero-Perdue & Parry, 2014; Cunningham & Carlsen

Materials selection concepts and methods were interspersed throughoutthe course and integrated into three student-group design projects involving springs, bearings,rotating shafts, and gear elements. This approach resulted in a practical and effective method ofintroducing materials selection into the design process and provided needed skills for the follow-on, senior-level capstone design course. At the end of the class, an easy-to-follow, student-written material selection reference guide (with examples) was produced to provide guidance forfuture classes and students needing a quick overview of the materials selection process and useof the
