, entitled“Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) for Metals” (ME8990). This course isalso deployed for online learning in a virtual classroom. The course was taught for the first timeduring the Fall 2012 semester and is being taught for the second time during the Fall 2013semester. The course design is based on blended learning approach3 to facilitate integration ofadvanced technological resources (ICME Cyberinfrastructure) with traditional pedagogicalpractices (textbook, Mark F. Horstemeyer, “ICME for Metals” 4).The interdisciplinary course curriculum is fragmented into independent learning modules witheach module focusing on teaching different material length scales with its respectivecollaborative student group assignments and

, or it will erode over time. When an existing composite needs an addition of composite,there is no oxygen inhibited layer to provide adherence, and the composite addition will be lessthan integral with the existing restoration. Wetting Repair Resins is designed to restore theoxygen inhibited layer prior to the addition of new composite to an existing restoration. Thisresearch project compares the flexure strength of composites to that of their repaired samples,with and without the Repair resin applied.Experimental ProcedureIn this research seven different composites are tested. The experiments are conducted in ninesteps, starting from making the composite specimen till the break of the repaired compositespecimen as shown in Figure 1

learning situations that are familiar to students as the context for virtual science, engineering and technology investigations. He also pro- posed and implemented the pioneering concept of integrated adjustable virtual laboratories. To facilitate these methodologies for academic education, corporate and military training, his company developed new ground-breaking e-learning solutions, as well as relevant assessment and authoring tools. Dr. Cherner holds an MS in Experimental Physics, and Ph.D. in Physics and Materials Science. He published over 90 papers in national and international journals and made dozens presentations at various national and international conferences and workshops. Dr. Cherner has served as a

the need to develop computational activities in each ofthe subject areas throughout the curriculum. Although several software platforms are used in thedepartment, Matlab has been selected for computational exercises to be used in the variouslearning studios such that students may achieve a high level of proficiency in computationalactivities throughout the curriculum. With the support of MathWorks, Matlab based learningmodules are being developed to integrate modeling, simulation and experiments towards thecharacterization of polymeric biomaterials. The goal of this initiative is to develop interactivesimulation tools that will enable students at various academic levels to explore the methodologyand formulation employed in the numerical
