Thequestion that we wish to explore is: could CES EduPack be developed to better support both or acombination of these approaches?Based on the results of an informed curriculum/syllabus selection, focus groups and an initialsurvey, we have identified areas where additional data and new linked datasets (called datatables) might support educators in Materials Science and Engineering. Here, we outline astructure for a new database and suggest potential new data tables for it.

Thesemethods were initially applied in 100 and 300 level ‘Materials Science’ courses forengineers and engineering technology undergraduate students. It was soon realized thatthese methods could easily be effective in other engineering courses and this is when itwas decided to integrate these ideas into an

Some of the initiatives described in this paper extenddirectly from previous research efforts stemming from funded research programs both here andat other university venues. A proof of concept for integration of Habitat for Humanity wasexecuted under an internal curriculum enhancement program funded by the University of NorthCarolina at Charlotte in 2009-2010. The emerging results of that effort were published last yearthrough ASEE and testify to not only the popularity but also the utility of this innovative effort.1This paper reports on the successful efforts to continue this practice

When an existing composite needs an addition of composite,there is no oxygen inhibited layer to provide adherence, and the composite addition will be lessthan integral with the existing restoration. Wetting Repair Resins is designed to restore theoxygen inhibited layer prior to the addition of new composite to an existing restoration. Thisresearch project compares the flexure strength of composites to that of their repaired samples,with and without the Repair resin applied.Experimental ProcedureIn this research seven different composites are tested. The experiments are conducted in ninesteps, starting from making the composite specimen till the break of the repaired compositespecimen as shown in Figure 1

The laboratory was taught in a non-credit producing manner as part of CE3313 (3 total credit hours) until the 2014 spring semester, and thereafter the laboratory was a 1credit hour producing laboratory (4 credit hours for lecture and laboratory) with the CE 3311

In thisstudy, we merged two design-based courses modules into the original course curriculum topromote the creativity of students in the field of material engineering. The course module (I)“User-Centered Design-Problem Definition” was offered based on the product and useroriented design aspects. The other course module “Experiential Manufacturing and MaterialAesthetics” was proceeded through project-based learning activities. The two course modules were combined into relevant course, Project Laboratory (1) &(2), on the spring semester (2016) as an elective course to undergraduate students.

In addition, RIT does not have a first-year, comprehensiveintroductory engineering course where students can start to build the skills they will need inupper-level courses and in industry. Therefore, Materials Science seemed an appropriate placeto apply some of the principles learned from freshman engineering courses, through theincorporation of a hands-on, real-world group project.The failure analysis project was implemented as a team learning experience starting in the 2000-01 academic year as part of the Materials Science Lab component.

As basic science and engineeringbecome increasingly intertwined in fields such as nanotechnology, molecular self-organization,molecular electronics, and microbiological synthesis13, students and professionals have to dealwith time scales from the nanosecond to tenths of years, and sizes from the single atoms tomachines many thousands of meters long14. Many researchers and industrial leaders in the field have been pointing out that reforminitiatives are falling short of those new challenges.

Additionally, challenges brought on by the overuse of natural resources put a specialresponsibility on materials science and engineering (MSE) faculty, whose role it is to assist inshaping the MSE profession. How can faculty deliver relevant curricula for the MSEengineering professional in an already crowded curriculum? Certainly curricular content must beup-to-date. However, a number of the goals can be met through changing the way in which thecurriculum is delivered. In particular, we have emphasized mastery at the lower levels toincrease retention, and implemented a number of learning “best

Additionally, our program’s distinctly vocationalfocus required that the ‘structure’ component of the central paradigm of materials science:process structure properties performance, be given reduced emphasisii. This posed achallenge because understanding and visualizing how microstructure design via processinginfluences material behavior lays the foundation for understanding, analyzing, predicting andcontrolling the performance of larger, real systems. Likewise, mechanical behavior
