A2 is the probability of being accommodated in the other grain, n1 the number of atoms in grain 1 in position to make the jump, p 1 the vibrational frequency of an atom in grain 1. ̇ Geometrical approximations is a common technique used to calculate grain size an also the effect of second-phase particles in grain growth. Here, the force (P) is applied by the particle to grain boundaries. The model assumes the particles as spheres and boundaries as lines or surfaces. P ? r r sin(2s )i where P is the force, s is the angle with the grain boundary, r is the particle

(You may also suspend the pane on 2"x4"s placed on the ground.)2. Slowly stand on the pane such that your entire weight is on the unsupported portion of the glass. The glass should hold up to 400 pounds easily. (N.B. It is extremely rare that the pane will break. If the glass does break it will break in the pane of the glass meaning that glass pieces will fly out parallel to the floor. It is best to have students remain at least 10 feet away and wear safety goggles while doing this demonstration.)If you wish to demonstrate the effect of a flaw in the glass, the

EducationAbstractHigher education, especially in the engineering milieu, is a complex activity. Many differenttasks need to be performed well to achieve high quality student learning. Significant learningexperiences require specific (and optimal) course design, and inculcation of relevant skills.The more common approach for course design is the ‘content-centered’ one. A list of topicsis decided (using well-established textbook/s), together with time slots and a testing scheme(number of quizzes, tests, etc). Though relatively easy, this methodology pays scant attentionto student learning outside of content knowledge. The more time and effort intensive‘learning-centered’ approach is more systematic and rewarding. Course design is based ondeciding what students can

field.V. ConclusionTo meet national workforce need, we developed different computational modeling modules andtaught the modules in two undergraduate materials science and engineering course, includingStructure of Materials course and Thermodynamics course. Students studied the computationalmodeling theory outside of the class. In the class, the instructor focused on hands-on practice.The module s covered various materials structure and thermodynamic topics, such as atom andbonding simulations, point defect formation energy calculations and diffusion simulations,chemical reaction simulations, Gibbs free energy equilibrium calculations, and phase separationsimulations. Student feedback was collected in consideration of the module
