For example, one project leader becamefamiliar with a particular student who was interested in aerospace engineering. Throughparticipation in the various MSTI activities, this student was able to make the connectionbetween aerospace engineering and transportation. Another leader reported that many of theparticipants really did not know what they wanted to do prior to MSTI but the various activitieshad helped them develop a clear understanding of civil engineering profession and transportationopportunities.ConclusionOverall, MSTI met its objectives.

This course is one of twogateway courses into the Material Science and Engineering department at the University ofMichigan; but the majority of the enrolled students come from several other departments (e.g.,Aerospace, Chemical, and Industrial and Operations Engineering) that have designated thiscourse as a technical elective. The prerequisite for this course is one semester of either inorganicor organic chemistry. One challenge of teaching MSE220 is that the background and motivationof the students are quite diverse. Another challenge is that the course content spans the entirerange of a very multidisciplinary field. As a way to address these challenges, the professor –Millunchick– developed screencasts

In this iteration, the professor developsa supplemental screencast when 30% or more of students identify a concept or topic as beingunclear. This paper compares the results of these two approaches.1. IntroductionIntroduction to Materials and Manufacturing (MSE220) is a large survey course that posesdistinct challenges for teaching and learning at the University of Michigan. MSE220 is agateway course for MSE students but it is also a technical elective for students in otherdepartments, with Aerospace, Chemical, and Industrial and Operations Engineering
