aspect of human dimension (both self and others) in a science/engineering course like MS can be a daunting task. Learning outcomes could be “activelyparticipate in class discussions; avoid plagiarism in report writing and properly cite publishedsources; work in teams on mini-project, swapping roles as team member and leader; andconduct peer assessment of project team members.” Learning activities could be lecture andclass discussion on team work, and professional and ethical responsibility (includingplagiarism, citation and referencing); and project presentations and discussions. Assessmentmethods could be keeping records of active class participation (individual and group); recordsof meetings with project teams for individual and team work

question of whether the UMTK improveslearning and understanding as measured on pre- and post-tutorial tests of fundamental materialsproperties concepts, when compared to a similar commercial tester and a traditional tutorial. Thetrials were conducted in a first year (freshman, for our American colleagues) undergraduateengineering materials science course of 690 students enrolled across 16 tutorial sessions. Thisstudy was conducted during regularly scheduled tutorial hours and has received research ethicsboard approval via the University of Toronto Research Ethics Board.The majority of participating students were enrolled in mechanical, industrial, electrical, orcomputer engineering programs, though some were undeclared. Students were divided into
