used within the course.These preliminary studies indicate the promise in purposeful inclusion of disciplinary literacy practiceswith engineering classrooms to support core content ideas, and sketch out a few possible model practicesand tools for use in classroom settings by instructors. These activities build sense making, reflectivepractice and engineering habits of mind within materials science courses, and show promise in helpingstudents to move from a novice level of understanding towards expertise through the use of writing,speaking and communicating.References1.

the aim of this preliminary study into the integration of a molecular dynamicssimulation into a traditional tensile test lab. Students’ ability to use the presence or absence ofdislocations or the formation and motion of dislocations as the basis for explanations fordifference in macroscale and nanoscale sample stress-strain behavior varied, but was generallylimited and fragmented. Recommendations for better integration of the lab components focus ona reduction of concepts in the tensile test lab, increased analysis of simulation data for easiercomparison across samples, and re-sequencing of topics before and after this the tensile test lab.Bibliography1.

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
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. Aknowledgeable operator is required to
There are a wide range of student perceptions about the panels, and this is unlikely to change Creating competitiveness between students is difficult and that these panels seem to have failed in that endeavor6.0 AcknowledgementsThanks are due to the individuals who served as panel members alongside the authors of thispaper. Dr. Dennis D. Truax is also owed thanks for helping to facilitate several items associatedwith the 2014 CE 3311 offering, and for working toward a solution allowing SPM’s.
