programming and other course assignments such as homework. The survey wasdistributed in the same junior-year materials kinetics class in subsequent years, with differingresults. In study 1, students were significantly less motivated to complete programmingassignments than other course assignments. However, the following year, Study 2 found thatthere was no significant difference; students were equally motivated to complete programmingand other course assignments. Furthermore, students articulated that programming skills areessential for engineers to be efficient at their jobs. The contrasting results are discussed,presenting several hypotheses for the dissimilar attitudes.IntroductionComputational materials science and engineering (CMSE) is vital to

In the multi-camera and single cameratreatment groups only 42% and 60% of students, respectively, agreed or strongly agreed to thesame statement. A significant difference was not observed for both student preference andstudent performance on the pre and post-test between the multi-camera and single cameratreatment groups.1.0 IntroductionThe current cohort of students attending university has been classified as the “Net Gen” [1], agroup of “digital natives” who have had access to technology and the Internet during themajority of their schooling [2]. The Net Gen is a unique set of learners, characterized by a needto multi-task, shorter attention spans, functioning as independent and

Furthermore, we investigate the influence of the computational exposure onstudents’ perspective in research and during job search. Finally, we collect and analyze feedbackfrom department faculty regarding their experience with teaching techniques involvingcomputation.2 IntroductionA computational approach has become an indispensable tool in materials science research andrelated industry. In addition to the research interest, the 2009 survey by Thornton et al. [1] andthe followup 2018 survey by Enrique et al. [2] showed that employers of MSE students, such

Traditional manufacturing techniques, such as injection molding and forging,involve fixed molds or dies that are expensive and present limitations to the 3D shapes that canbe fabricated. In 3DP, no molds or dies are required. Parts are designed using a computer-aideddesign (CAD) program and then the digital part file is loaded into a slicer program that preparesthe part file for printing on a 3D printer. From idea

From the compiled results, the student response to the moduleswas positive, leaving many students empowered, curious, and excited. The module seriesaccomplished the goal of helping students be more prepared in understanding their role indesigning materials with their end-use in mind, thus infusing technical and social engineeringskill sets.IntroductionTraditionally, the engineering canon focuses solely on technical skills; but there is growingindustry and academic demand for engineers who design solutions with “sociotechnical”perspectives [1-4]. The term “sociotechnical” blends the social impact of technical engineeringprinciples; it is a concept

Faculty and more advanced students will also review the articles using a rubricthat assesses communication quality from multiple Bloom’s levels. We will report on thestructure of these activities, as well as the final data collected related to student mindset andcognition.Introduction Materials science is an academic topic that permeates most engineering curricula andmost certainly influences problem solving across the field of engineering as a whole [1].However, introductory materials science courses may not always demonstrate the importance ofthe subtopic to the broader field of engineering. In addition, while materials science has been adriving force

ICAP stands for Interactive, Constructive, Active, and Passive, the four modes of studentengagement that are defined through the framework. When these words are used to refer to themodes of cognitive engagement, they will be italicized. Passive student engagement isrecognized as a state when students are simply receiving information. It can happen whenstudents are listening to a lecture without additional engagement, reading a passage of text, orengaging in any learning activity where they are observers and take no actions to engage with thematerial. Active student engagement is seen when students are manipulating, or taking

research has shown clear benefits to student-centered and active learning [1].Providing students the opportunity to talk through challenging concepts, as opposed to passivelylistening to lecture, provides measurable benefits in terms of understanding and retention ofinformation [2]. There is often resistance, however, at both the faculty and student level, toincorporate active leaning in undergraduate STEM courses [3]. Classroom space, availability ofresources, and scheduling logistics can make active learning challenging. At the University ofSouthern California, MASC 310: Materials Behavior and Processing is a high-enrollment coursethat introduces engineering students from a range of backgrounds to the basics of materialsscience. The course is
