broad, science-based context. For example, the textbook beginswith the Big Bang, then spends three full chapters on the formation and evolution of theuniverse, the formation of our solar system and planet Earth, and the origin and evolution ofearly forms of life. The textbook will be extensively supplemented with additional material andguest lectures from various engineering faculty. In addition to engineering materials, broadtopics like power, water, and navigation will be considered. Student assessment will includedebates, group research projects, and oral presentations, as well as exams.Designed with engineering students in mind, the classes seek to establish patterns of thinkingaround complex issues and to provide meaningful case studies

Paper ID #18652Development and Assessment of a Combined REU/RET Program in Materi-als ScienceDr. Noah Salzman, Boise State University Noah Salzman is an Assistant Professor at Boise State University, where he is a member of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department and IDoTeach, a pre-service STEM teacher preparation program. His work focuses on the transition from pre-college to university engineering programs, how exposure to engineering prior to matriculation affects the experiences of engineering students, and engineering in the K-12 classroom. He has worked as a high school science, mathematics, and

their analysis, and anyconclusions drawn therein. For (3) the work was meant to be performed individually while for(1) and (2) groups of up to 4 students was allowed.This project assignment was done keeping in mind the significance of manufacturing simulationin the production operations of major corporations for modeling, analyzing, and optimizing theircomplex manufacturing operations. It was also conjectured that finite element modeling andsimulation is probably the most basic and powerful tool that almost any engineer is required topossess to day. An exercise using this tool will help pave way for refinement and expertise in 8modeling and simulation and would be of vital help in other
