focus on materials selection and multiple constraints, the factors involved in materials processing and design, and the use of data sources. The students completing this course will have useful solutions to standard problems in industry and a working knowledge of the materials selection software. The methods of assessing students include homework, quizzes, a midterm exam, design project report(s) and a final exam.“ 3 cr.The students were required to have the following text, software and ancillary materials.

. For the non-functionalized alumina, the procedure involves the ultrasonic agitation of composition(s) (%wtof resin weight) of alumina in EPON™ resin. A 500W sonicator with a 20Khz frequency is usedto disperse alumina in the low viscosity resin. Sonication is carried out at 40% maximumamplitude with a unit mass rate of 3-5 mins. / gm of alumina. High amplitude and elongatedsonication can cause localized elevation of temperature in resin. This rate is also higher thanalumina dispersion in water and methanol mixture due to the higher viscosity of the resin system.It is also important to note that mechanical stirring is also carried out during sonicationprocedure to circulate the mixture and to avoid intercalated dispersion.

evaluating the demonstrations indicated (94% agreement) that the SMA interactivedemonstrations are “very effective” or “effective” in demonstrating the concept of SMA.AcknowledgementsThe authors gratefully acknowledge the financial support from the National Science Foundation(Grant No. 0341143 and Grant No. 0305027). This interactive demonstration was an outcomeof an interdisciplinary senior design project.References1. Ambrose, S. A. and C. H.

. 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
