the nuances of microstructure and crystal structure, but are not conclusive.We plan to repeat the quiz, for credit and during the microstructure and heat treating portion ofthe class.The Electron Backscatter Diffraction TechniqueIntra-granular atomic arrangement can be determined by Electron Backscatter Diffraction(EBSD), a technique performed in conjunction with scanning electron microscopy. In EBSD, thetop atomic layers of a highly polished material diffract the incident electron beam. As intransmission electron microscopy, the resulting electron diffraction pattern at any point isuniquely determined by the crystal structure that the beam is incident upon. Computerizedmethods allow the patterns to be easily indexed to the corresponding

participants found this experience emotionallyrewarding as well. Participant 4 felt, “everything coming together, it’s nice, you finally,everything, I don’t want to sound tacky but everything you’ve read about and dreamed about, itactually exists, it’s a real thing.” While sometimes frustrating, participants also mentionedtroubleshooting and learning how to deal with problems as valuable outcomes of their summerresearch experiences. Participant 6 explained: There was a lot of trial and error and it got me to think outside the box. I was running samples and they weren’t really working out as planned and I didn’t know what was going on so I had to rule out multiple things. I added a third bar to make sure solution was equally

Thanks to the effort of those doing engineering outreach, this is slowlychanging. Outreach serves to increase both awareness and interest for engineering. MSE is oftenthe discipline of choice because of its diverse and tangible nature. For outreach to be successful,it needs to be accessible. Outreach

Deidentified responses were analyzed for each question to understandthe themes. These themes were not always clearly located within a single question’s response –for example, several students discussed the impact the visits had on their career plans whenresponding to question 2. Thus, themes were identified from three questions subsets: Q2&3, Q4,and Q5-7. Common themes were found using inductive analysis methods, sorting the responsesinto similar groups as part of disassembling the data [5]. Overarching themes for the responsegroupings were developed and participant

definition of“design” as “the creation of a plan or convention for the construction of an object, system ormeasurable human interaction [from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia,https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design].” Designing usually needs to consider the aesthetic,functional, economic and societal dimensions of both the design object and design process.Learning the design methods and processes through project-based learning activities seems tobe an important route for students to understanding the merging of materials science withengineering for future challenges as reported [4-6].

However,these activities are limited in the types of views and planes that can be visualized, and are alsodifficult to scale to large-lecture situations. One alternative is to use the plan view, which showsspecific slices through a unit cell and provides information about crystal symmetry [5]. Thisclarifies atomic positions for students, but does not allow students to visualize any plane of theirselection.Computer-based activities can provide students with more flexibility in manipulating structures.In 1996, Foley [6] developed a computer program, CrystalVis, to teach students about
