their specimens, a benchtop mechanical tester (MTestQuattro; ADMET,Inc., Norwood, MA, USA) was used by the students to deform their specimens in tension at afixed deformation rate of 0.5 mm/s until failure was observed. Engineering stress-strain curveswere constructed from the resulting data, and the students determined the Young’s modulus (E),yield stress (σy), and strain at failure (εf) for each specimen. A full list of materials, step-by-stepinstructions, discussion questions and a glossary of engineering terminology is publicallyavailable.8 While only one deformation rate is investigated here, activity extensions could beperformed to investigate the effect of rate on the deformation response.

interviews with the PI inthe fall and spring. The PI initially places the prospective REU students with a university facultymember. Each student then interviews with the research faculty member selected by the PI.These additional interviews ensure a proper fit within the research lab, advise the studentregarding the project research topic(s) and confirms to both the faculty member and the PI thatthe student has the potential to conduct the assigned research project successfully. The REUofficially begins in late May with a kick-off meeting and concludes in mid-August with a formalposter presentation and program. Student REU student research abstracts for 2016 and 2017 areprovided in Appendix 1. Archived files of the 2016 and 2017 REU Poster

program can have a majorexperience both on design and research, under this context, in their fifth year they have project-based courses with the proposal, execution and reporting phases being nominally divided up intothe two semesters. A member of the ME faculty is assigned as advisor and often the projectresults in a bachelor thesis, several of this projects have also resulted in journal publicationsand/or patent applications. We are strongly promoting this option, since it greatly benefits thestudents and allows us to detect talents to pursue graduate studies.Accreditation: Engineering programs accreditation agencies in Mexico started in the middle1990´s. Our ME program was accredited by the Mexican Council CACEI in 2007 and re-accredited in

implemented muddiestpoints as a feedback mechanism.Muddiest points first entered the pedagogical toolbox in the late 1980’s through publications byMosteller [3,4] and Cross and Angelo [5]. Since then, their documented use and the study oftheir impacts has grown. It has only been in the last decade or so that significant interest hasappeared in the engineering education literature, however. Krause et al. [6] presented apedagogical toolkit including the use of muddiest points for improving the teaching of materialsscience. Carberry et al. [7] summarized results from studies of the implementation of muddiestpoints in several settings including chemistry and engineering. Researchers have correlated useof muddiest point-inspired explanatory materials with
