Theresult of this interrelationship of materials structure, properties and processing is that thematerials professional must understand the intimate details of the material in order to designprocessing and manufacturing techniques that will result in a product with the desiredproperties.5 Variables in processing and manufacturing that must be understood and controlledinclude (but are not limited to) temperature, pressure, process speed and environmental factorssuch as atmosphere and vacuum.

Mechanics of Materials) at Penn State Erie, The Behrend College is one coursethat introduces students to the concept of and relationship between stress and strain, how tocalculate stresses and strains under different forces and moments, and how to design structuralcomponents to prevent failure due to expected loading conditions. As an introductory course,textbook materials are typically simplified so that underclassmen are able to solve problems.This can make it difficult for students to relate how all the concepts can have a unified effect ona real-world problem.

majority of the students do not volunteer to take FYEP, but complete it as a departmentalrequirement. The engineering departments that require this course for first-year students includemechanical, environmental, and aerospace engineering. Engineering students that are required totake FYEP by their departments do not necessarily enroll with a professor from their department,causing the sections to fill with a random mix of students from different disciplines. Students donot know section topics prior to enrollment.Table 1.
