historically underrepresented groupsin STEM, and the PREM program, which is designed to increase diversity in materials researchdisciplines by creating research/education partnerships between minority serving institutions(MSI) and universities which are “leading sources of degrees in materials-related fields” [5].Traditionally, our PREM partners send a select group of their PREM-funded student scholars tocontinue their materials science research at Penn State during the 10-week REU summerprogram. PREM REU student-scholars are in a unique position because a summer REU at PennState is a continuation of their own research from their home institution, integrated within thelarger PREM-MRSEC collaboration. Thus, an intrinsic goal of the in-person PREM

now approaching theirsenior years. In this paper, we present the recent progress of our computational curriculum andfocus on the influence of the program on the performance of students in senior computationalmodeling classes and senior classes with computational modules.2 IntroductionComputational modeling of materials properties has grown increasingly important in both academiaand industry.[1] Survey data from 2009 shows that the an average of 50 % of new hires are ex-pected to have computational training experience. [1] Due to the well-known need of computa-tional skills, it is vital to provide computational training to undergraduate students in materialsscience.[1, 2] A recent study by Vieira and others[3] shows that integrating

compression parallel to the grain test,which requires the greatest compressive force of all three types of tests in this study, the peakload did not exceed 25,000 pounds, which indicates the testing could have been accomplished onmost test frames found at other institutions. Test apparatus, such as the static bending test loadhead and support platform and the direct shear device, were already available by their use inother courses in the civil engineering curriculum at USAFA. So no new equipment was requiredfor this study. The ASTM provides detailed specifications for these apparatus, facilitating theirpurchase or fabrication if an institution does not have ready access to them. The instructordeveloped the testing algorithm in the test frame

As part of a larger initiative to integrate traditional technical skills withenhanced social awareness into the engineering curriculum, a two-part module emphasizing theenvironmental and social design considerations of sustainability was added to an existing moduleseries in a third-year Materials Science course.

Engineering’ departments in USuniversities have evolved into interdisciplinary and collaborative Materials Science andEngineering programs. Over the last few decades, MSE has become collaboratively involved inthe fields of biology (biomaterials and biomedical research), mechanical engineering (machinecomponents, MEMS and tribology), electrical engineering (semiconductors), physics andchemistry (nanomaterials and solid-state physics research). The applicability of MSE to varioustraditional engineering programs also means that students from other (not majoring in MSE)disciplines are also required to register for an introductory level materials class as a part of theircore undergraduate curriculum. However, many of the traditional textbooks that are
