Paper ID #20228Using Undergraduate Research to Teach Advanced MaterialsDr. William M. Jordan, Baylor University William Jordan is Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Baylor University. He has B.S. and M.S. degrees in metallurgical engineering from the Colorado School of Mines, an M.A. degree in theology from Denver Seminary, and a Ph.D. in mechanics and materials from Texas A & M University. He teaches materials-related courses and does research with natural fiber composite materials. He is also interested in entrepreneurship,sustainable engineering, and appropriate technology in developing countries
teach students the aesthetics and critical thinking with creativity. In thisstudy, we merged two design-based courses modules into the original course curriculum topromote the creativity of students in the field of material engineering. The course module (I)“User-Centered Design-Problem Definition” was offered based on the product and useroriented design aspects. The other course module “Experiential Manufacturing and MaterialAesthetics” was proceeded through project-based learning activities. The two course modules were combined into relevant course, Project Laboratory (1) &(2), on the spring semester (2016) as an elective course to undergraduate students. Studentsshould submit their research portfolios and final report of the program
Stanford University. Subsequently, he was a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Computer Science, also at Stanford University. He has been with the Department of Aerospace Engineering at Illinois since 2006, where he now serves as Associate Head for Undergraduate Programs. He holds an affiliate appointment in the Coordinated Science Laboratory, where he leads a research group that works on a diverse set of projects (http://bretl.csl.illinois.edu/). Dr. Bretl received the National Science Foundation Early Career Development Award in 2010. He has also received numerous awards for undergraduate teaching in the area of dynamics and control, including all three teaching awards given by the College of Engineering at
assignments and/or courses into therequired MSE curriculum, but not to the extent of 3 semester-long required lab courses. Bydeveloping new courses specifically designed to tie computational assignments to concurrent andpreceding courses in the undergraduate curriculum, OSU made use of significant facultyexpertise in modeling and simulation to develop and teach this curriculum. By operating thesecourses as weekly labs with significant instructor and TA oversight during extended hands-oncourse sections, the courses focused on the need for students to learn to use computational toolsby doing.This paper introduces the curriculum of this 3-semester computational laboratory sequence,discusses the largely qualitative analyses done to measure its efficacy
