For spring 2016 the students were required to simulate a material propertyor a basic manufacturing process using any finite element analysis software, or write a shortreview article on a topic closely related to the subject of materials and manufacturing. It was 3intended to add enrichment to the learning experience beyond the confines of the traditionalclassroom and positively impact a students’ academic performance. This would also lead todevelopment of better pedagogical practices by the engineering faculty, help the college to bettermeet the ABET objectives by

We also expected that students would more easilygrasp that structured thought and research in this field falls into recognizable patterns that canhelp one understand past research and plan new research. Finally, we hoped that students usingthe diagram would recognize that explanations of research are always rhetorical, responding toaudience, situation, and purpose, and that thus invoking the potential rhetorical situations ofexplanations as one does the work can aid in deepening understanding and making it moreflexible. Thus, as part of a grant-funded project to

Upon viewing anew concept students often reflect about their own tacit knowledge and try to make a connectionto the new concept, thereby creating their own knowledge. Unfortunately, as educators we oftenassume we don’t have control, or even awareness, of such connections in each of our students’minds, thus it is exceedingly difficult to correct miss-steps along the way. However, by taking aproactive and creative approach, we can guide the visualization process through seeded commonexperiences generated in the classroom, study hall, or laboratory. Setting
