During building expansions, they plumbed toilets and painted beams.When the neighboring highway construction drained our pond, they mapped out a remediationplan. As new equipment was brought in, students read the manuals, ran experiments, and thendeveloped standard operating procedures. At the same time, they aided consulting engineers ineverything from laboratory testing to grueling field work to statistical analysis.

Tempered glass lecture demonstrationThe tempered glass demonstration was highly regarded by the students who felt that theyunderstood the concepts much better after having seen the demonstration in class. They foundthis and other demonstrations to be very engaging and entertaining and better for conceptretention. Furthermore, students felt demos were more valuable than laboratory sessionsincluded in the course curriculum. Students did not consider labs helpful, since they watched theteaching assistant demonstrate an experiment rather than getting the

This origami design, named for the Japanese art of folding paper called origami, allowsone to print and assemble postage-stamp sized paper batteries for an initial equipment investmentof under $1000 (a wax printer and micropipettes). Although the start-up cost of supplies is a fewhundred dollars, the approximate cost per postage-stamp sized battery is on the order of $0.10.The design presented here has a folded footprint of 1 cm2 and outputs an open circuit voltage of2.5 V for over 15 minutes.

In addition, MatEd’s staffwill provide workshops to help faculty development curriculum. The initial work for theMatED’s team involved the identification, categorization, and prioritization of materials sciencecore competencies needed by technologists. These core competencies will guide faculty in thedevelopment of classroom and laboratory exercises as well as assist in the development ofcurriculum that addresses ISO 14000.

All students gain insightsinto the control, modification, and prediction of material properties and microstructure. Allstudents learn to identify the roles that processing may play in determining the usefulness of amaterial in a practical context. Each project team, however, identifies its own goals andquestions, creates its own learning strategies, and designs its own experimental plan.

. The inspiration to structure a course around the designing andbuilding of educational museum displays was inspired by similar innovative classactivities by Crone4 and Pruitt5. MATE X424 was offered in the Fall of 2006, and was a2-unit activity (i.e., cross between a lecture and laboratory type class). The class met for4 hours a week, and much of the class time was devoted to actually working on thedisplays. The small class size of 6 students allowed us to truly work together as a team.Due to the service learning component of the course, the students were now working fortheir client, Chick Fidel and the school children.

In particular, we haveweaknesses in the field of Mathematics, this a common problem in Latin American engineeringprograms12 that in our opinion does not receives enough attention. In our case, since 2005 wehave put in place a collaboration with a French University (INSA-Lyon), oriented at reinforcingteaching and learning practices on Engineering Mathematics. Another important recommendationwas to establish a program to update and renew the laboratory equipment as well as put in place amaintenance program
