) • Choose the appropriate type of graph for the data set. • No Excel titles on graphs. That’s what the caption is for. • Axes usually should not run through the center of a graph. • Each axis needs a label including units • Include legend only when graphing more than one set of data. • Format tables so data can be easily compared. Don’t have tables spread across two or more pages. • Put units in the header of each table column. • Units should be consistent and abbreviated correctly. o mPa and MPa are different o second is s not sec, hour is h not hr, etc. (lists of unit abbrev can be found online)Statistics • For each data point, report the number of measurements made or samples tested (n), even

. Place the pane flat with the edges supported on two chairs so you have a platform 18" or so off the ground with about 12"-18" of glass unsupported between the chairs. (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
biomedical concepts of biomimicry, material properties andmechanics were successfully tied into a demonstration based activity. Page 26.1.8Safety and HazardsComprehensive safety standards should be practiced during the activity. It is recommended thatlaboratory gloves be worn during the part of the activity where the students pour the binder intothe mold. Caution must be taken when handling the PDMS to avoid clothing and skin contact. Itis also recommended to have the leader of the activity (or aids) put the molds into and removethe molds from the oven(s) with oven mitts. This mitigates the risk of burn injury.

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
