experimentally characterized at themicro-scale.The overall goal of this research is to enhance the solid mechanics education by incorporatingmulti-scale experimental mechanics and visualization using scanning electron microscopy, digitalimage correlation (DIC), and mechanical testing into existing curricula. A multi-scale mechanicaland material experimentation (M3E) module for property characterization and materialvisualization is employed to transform undergraduate mechanics education. A schematic of theM3E module is shown in Figure 1. Informed by various components of our project, a frameworkfor an improved multi-scale solid mechanics education is developed that is complemented with anassessment method to evaluate students’ learning outcomes.

In one hypothetical situation the client is quite wealthy, in theother the client is poor. Half of the students were first asked to review the code of ethics’ firstcanon. Comparing student responses will help us understand the extent to which studentsconsider their code of ethics when approaching a new project, and how they navigate the tensionbetween welfare and safety.IntroductionThe first canon of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) code of

These skills carry over to the team design project that involves programming,sensors, actuators, construction and testing of a complete system. The programming skillscarried into the sophomore level courses have been well received by some departments and lessthan satisfactory to other departments which has led to more deliberate independentprogramming assignments.
