, economicanalysis as well as performance predictions. Given the direct connection of 3DP to materialsprocessing and the importance of CAD to engineering and design, the natural place to integratethese topics into the curriculum was the senior year lab courses (​Materials Performance​andMaterials Processing)​. This paper provides details about the integration of 3DP and CAD into the twosenior-level lab courses in an MSE curriculum, including lab activities and team design projects.The rationale, strategies and evolution of these changes are detailed along with lessons learned inthe development and implementation of these changes, examples, and a discussion of impact.Course Overview Materials Performance​is a fall semester, senior-level course

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

Engineering’ departments in USuniversities have evolved into interdisciplinary and collaborative Materials Science andEngineering programs. Over the last few decades, MSE has become collaboratively involved inthe fields of biology (biomaterials and biomedical research), mechanical engineering (machinecomponents, MEMS and tribology), electrical engineering (semiconductors), physics andchemistry (nanomaterials and solid-state physics research). The applicability of MSE to varioustraditional engineering programs also means that students from other (not majoring in MSE)disciplines are also required to register for an introductory level materials class as a part of theircore undergraduate curriculum. However, many of the traditional textbooks that are
