His research interests include evaluating conceptual knowledge, mis- conceptions and technologies to promote conceptual change. He has co-developed a Materials Concept Inventory and a Chemistry Concept Inventory for assessing conceptual knowledge and change for intro- ductory materials science and chemistry classes. He is currently conducting research on NSF projects in two areas. One is studying how strategies of engagement and feedback with support from internet tools and resources affect conceptual change and associated impact on students’ attitude, achievement, and per- sistence.

research experience as part ofan undergraduate engineering education. Every engineering curriculum includes a culminatingevent, usually a senior design project. Most curricula include some opportunity for independentor small group research, even if it is only limited to a literature review on a specific topic.Another research opportunity available to most undergraduate engineering students is anindependent study course. Research is also an important experience for undergraduate studentsconsidering going on to graduate school.There is a great deal of literature describing the value of undergraduate research, especially forscience and engineering students.

The book was also to serve as a resource for those pursuingadvanced graduate studies and research but possessing limited background knowledge inmaterials processing. It was, however, not meant to substitute a good undergraduate textbook,but rather serve as an essential accompaniment to it for in-depth and integrated treatment ofselected materials processing topics. The book was not designed to develop the content in anevolutionary fashion that is normally needed to establish the foundation of an undergraduatecourse. It also did not include collections of solved examples and exercise problems; this was notsomething done on purpose or by designix but because the authors

These senior students have experienced all thecomputational modules throughout their curriculum and, therefore, best represent the studentsaffected by the SIIP project. This survey was distributed in the Materials Design course (MSE395), which is a required course for all senior MSE students. The survey focuses on three majorparts: (1) Computational learning experience; (2) Research and job hunting experience; and (3)Attitude towards computational tools. We received 32 responses out of a class of 103students.5.1 Computational learning experienceTo understand the influence of computational modules on student learning throughout thecurriculum, we asked the following three questions

The lowenrollment and retention of students in these disciplines raises concerns about the impact of thecurriculum and teaching methods being practiced in these courses. Some of the recent efforts toattract a larger student pool to these disciplines are (a) creating an awareness of the impact ofmaterials science and manufacturing in our lives, to kindergarten through K-12 students (b)inviting students to attend Open Houses where the prospective students learn more about thesecourses, the student’s involvement in the research
