Some researchobjectives have been achieved by dividing an objective into manageable laboratory projects thatcan be completed by undergraduate students in a few weeks.The anodic dissolution µECM process effectively forms and shapes micro components from anyconductive material. Unlike classical ECM technology, the novel µECM utilizes very highfrequency pulses and proprietary electrode shapes/motions to remove materials at the micro ornano scales, and can mass-produce micro components with exceptional quality and surfaceintegrity. A theoretical model is developed which agrees with experimental data for 316Lstainless steel and copper beryllium alloy.

Engineering The following is a list of innovative ideas that are in-tune with the contemporary teaching –learning environment and that add value to materials education3). These ideas include thefollowing: • Using multi-media resources such as educational videos and recorded interviews to give an overview of the materials world. For example, a compact disk made by Struers (Struers is a major manufacturer of metallurgical laboratory products, see www.struers.com for more information) presents the history of materials evolution right from the pre-historic times to the present age. In addition, computer simulations on various topics such as solid solubility of carbon in steel, diffusion, and dislocation motion
