teaching approaches for introductory MSE classes.IntroductionIntroductory Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) is a required course for engineeringstudents from fields which include materials, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering,aerospace engineering, and chemical engineering. For students to be successful in the course andas engineers, they must develop an understanding of the basis for a material's macroscaleproperties. This requires an intuitive awareness of a material's structural, nanoscale, andmicroscale features and their influence on macroscopic properties. However, achieving this goalis a significant conceptual challenge that confronts all levels of learners in developing usefulmental models1 that link the concrete

reinforcement. Common uses for FRPs generally occur in the aerospace,automotive and marine industries as low weight, high strength materials. The durability is afunction of both the matrix and the fiber making them much more durable than the fibers on theirown. The strength, however, is more influenced by the fibers making them very strong intension. FRPs are used in civil infrastructure for reinforcement for concrete patching, cables onbridges, and complete bridges. The major advantages to FRPs over steel are that the material canbe more specifically tailored to the loads for the system, a resistance to corrosion, an increase inmaterial lifetime and durability, and a decrease in construction time and cost. Materialsengineers are researching ways to

Our school is part of the different clusters thatthe government of the state of Nuevo Leon has organized in sectors such as the automotive,aerospace, home appliances and nanotechnology, among others. These clusters integrates manycompanies which have strong relationship with Materials Engineering, thus we receive theirfeedback directly from them.

Most of the students stated that this was their favorite lab andrequested more exercises that would teach them machining skills. Several of the studentsrequested more exposure to manufacturing processes, such as sand casting. One of the studentssuggested adding an exercise involving fasteners, particularly focusing on the informationavailable in the Machinery’s Handbook and vendor catalogs.Feedback from the MachinistOur machinist, previously employed in the aerospace industry, is eager to work with students.He suggested that students needed more exposure to the proper use of
