course, but to enable in-class activitiesvarious examples and specific details were often omitted from lecture in favor of focusing timeon underlying concepts. With two class meetings per week, all or some of one class wasdedicated to an in-class lab, while the remaining class was largely a traditional lecture format. Tokeep the direct instruction portion of the class engaging various demonstrations and visuals werepresented, discussion was encouraged, and think-pair-share opportunities were provided. Think-pair-share discussion was utilized on the first day of class and the first lab was completed in thesecond week of the semester. This was planned intentionally, to set the tone that MASC 310would be an active learning experience and provide

that students can connectMaterials knowledge to Products from everyday life and how they are made.This paper will outline plans, database structures, content and associated resources, and ifavailable by June, a link to a prototype. This is for the purpose of getting feedback from theASEE Materials community.IntroductionMaterials science and engineering (MSE) is a highly interdisciplinary field, yet still largelyunknown in high schools. Thanks to the effort of those doing engineering outreach, this is slowlychanging. Outreach serves to increase both awareness and interest for engineering. MSE is oftenthe discipline of choice because of its diverse and tangible nature. For outreach to be successful,it needs to be accessible. Outreach

non-MSE engineering students. The project led students to connect the dots between thetextbook chapters, the classroom discussion and the homework assignments. Additionally, theproject provided students with an opportunity to practice their public speaking and presentationskills through the ‘poster session,’ an important aspect of their growth as a STEM engineeringgraduate.In the future, the instructors plan to explore pathways to have the material’s project centeredaround a societal cause (such as a local community-driven social project) or an actual case-studyproblem in collaboration with the local materials and manufacturing industries. The motivationbehind this approach is to give students a project assignment that will help the community

to understand the evolution ofstudents’ motivation. Most notably, the author plans to conduct a longitudinal study that repeatsthe survey for Study 2 at the conclusion of the Winter 2019 term so that the same cohort of studentsis evaluated at two times relative to the term. Additionally, the repeated study will allow for acloser comparison between the two groups of students (those enrolled during the Winter 2018 andWinter 2019 terms), to see if the student responses are still different at the same point in time.Alternatively, more qualitative information can be collected through short answer questions andfocus groups to elucidate students’ thought processes with regards to CMSE assignments. AsCMSE topics are added to the undergraduate

two versions of their letter in CAD - onevertical and one horizontal - and developed a plan for creating color by changing filament.Additionally they had to ensure that the base of the brick had the correct design and dimensionsto fit onto the board. In 2017, student teams created bricks that depicted a scene, image ormemory of the University of Minnesota. The final change to ​Materials Processing​that occurred during the integration of CADand 3DP into the curriculum was the addition of lectures on the major additive manufacturingprocesses. Powder bed processes such as Selective Laser Melting (SLM) were discussed in thesame section of the course as traditional powder processing methods like compaction andsintering, for example. Since

designingmaterials with their end use in mind, all of the students built on the content they found interestingin class and some even claimed responsibility (e.g. “It is our duty as inventors/innovators to beproducing but also protecting our planet.”). One student in particular applied their learningsbeyond that of traditional materials to that of the software industry, communicating advancedapplication of this content: “I am planning on working in the software industry, and while a lot ofit is virtual, it made me think about creating software that works on multiple platforms andcreating systems that do not become obsolete so quickly but finding ways to make them work foras long as possible.”Final comments that students left only further emphasized the
