The simulations are performedonline using the nano-Materials Simulation Toolkit on nanoHUB.org7. This tool provides asimple and intuitive graphical interface to a research-grade molecular dynamics code denotedCMDF7,8. During the laboratory, different diameter platinum nanowires could be chosen and thetemperature and strain rate could be defined by the students. Results from these tests consisted ofstress vs. time curves and images of the nanowire at different times during the simulated tensiletest. For the laboratory, a specific strain rate and temperature (300 K) were defined, but thestudents were encouraged by the teaching assistant

Around ten years ago, it was decided to split the coursein two, with half being oriented to mechanical engineering and the other half to electricalengineering. This made sense since the Department of Engineering offered majors inmechanical, electrical and computer engineering, and student surveys indicated a desire for anelectrical component in the course. In recent years, the single Department has been divided intoa Department of Mechanical Engineering and a Department of Electrical and ComputerEngineering. Therefore, it was decided to team teach the course using instructors from the Page

The goal of two of these experiments isto observe the behavior of shape memory alloys (SMAs) which are a unique class of materialswith the ability to recover their shape. There is a growing body of evidence to show theeffectiveness of modular teaching to bring advance topics to engineering course. In this paper wehave incorporated a project-based learning (PBL) module into an advanced engineering course.This PBL module brings

Peer students may ask only clarifying questions of the students and cannot make any othercomments. Within the speaking group, each member must speak, and groups have three minutes todiscuss their data without interruption. There is then three minutes of clarifying questions from peers.
