American Society for Engineering Education, 2016 Using Mechanical Testing of Disposable Plastic Cups to Illustrate Processing-Structure-Property Relationships in an Introductory Materials Laboratory CourseA hands-on activity was implemented in a sophomore-level materials engineering laboratory toillustrate how the structure and properties of polymeric materials are directly influenced by themethod of processing. The mechanical properties of specimens cut from the walls ofpoly(ethylene terephthalate) cups, oriented parallel and perpendicular to the thermoformingdirection, were measured in tension. The parallel sample displayed greater elastic moduli, yieldstress, and predominantly ductile deformation

industry working with the ”Council of Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat” where he worked on funded projects to compare different structural systems performance when made of steel vs. concrete. He also worked as an intern at Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) for two summers. Part of his work at IDOT involved collection and analysis of aggregates from different queries and sending reports to headquarters in Springfield, Illinois. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2020 Enhancing Student Learning Through Pre-Lab Assignments and Virtual Reality / Simulation Components in the Strength of Materials Laboratory ExperimentsAbstractApplied Strength of

opportunity with aU.S. academic institution for the limited testing of a variety of wood species. Through anacademic contact, EMI partnered with a faculty member knowledgeable in materials testing atthe U.S. Air Force Academy’s (USAFA) Department of Civil and Environmental Engineeringwho was able to identify an undergraduate student interested in a conducting an independentstudy. Like most U.S. academic institutions with civil and/or mechanical engineering programs,USAFA has a laboratory that includes frames capable of basic material testing to support theirprograms, such as a course in construction materials. Not only was EMI grateful for anopportunity to have some of these species tested at virtually no cost, they were able to avoid thecost of

, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Andr´e Schleife is a Blue Waters Assistant Professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineer- ing at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He obtained his Diploma and Ph.D. at Friedrich- Schiller-University in Jena, Germany for his theoretical work on transparent conducting oxides. Before he started at UIUC he worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory on a project that aimed at a description of non-adiabatic electron ion dynamics. His research revolves around excited electronic states and their dynamics in various materials using accurate computational methods and making use of modern super computers in order to understand

2 students indicated that simulations should not be used at all.Furthermore, although this activity occurred in a large-lecture setting, the majority of studentsperceived the activity to be comparable or superior to laboratory exercises in terms of connectionto the course (89% of students) and enhancing learning (91%). This possibly suggests that thevisualization activity provides a venue for active authentic engagement with course material,similar to that of a laboratory class.When designing simulation activities for a lecture, it is preferable to design them as interactive.This serves a dual purpose of accommodating students who are unable to install the software aswell as enhancing the learning of all students. Students perceived

assumed that they were a different set of lecture slidesrather than a method to summarize and synthesize concepts to reinforce learning. This may havecontributed to their negative reception. d. Tempered glass lecture demonstrationThe tempered glass demonstration was highly regarded by the students who felt that theyunderstood the concepts much better after having seen the demonstration in class. They foundthis and other demonstrations to be very engaging and entertaining and better for conceptretention. Furthermore, students felt demos were more valuable than laboratory sessionsincluded in the course curriculum. Students did not consider labs helpful, since they watched theteaching assistant demonstrate an experiment rather than getting the

2013. In general, in these evaluations we received relatively minor observationsoriented to reinforce the admission and tutoring programs so that the graduation rates wereenhanced and the failures rates on Basic Science courses were reduced. In particular, we haveweaknesses in the field of Mathematics, this a common problem in Latin American engineeringprograms12 that in our opinion does not receives enough attention. In our case, since 2005 wehave put in place a collaboration with a French University (INSA-Lyon), oriented at reinforcingteaching and learning practices on Engineering Mathematics. Another important recommendationwas to establish a program to update and renew the laboratory equipment as well as put in place amaintenance program

/2017 cohorts and five of the twenty-six2016 and 2017 REU students were also AMP students. REEMS activities over the academic year include: • Fall and spring seminars and research laboratory tours • Networking among partnering university faculty, graduate and undergraduate students, and materials professionals, and • Workshops and seminars on university transfer and academic programs at regional universities. During recruitment, the PI, REEMS staff, university research faculty, and formerREEMS REU students discuss the scope of research projects, various seminars and networkingopportunities, development of a coherent transfer plan to participating institutions, and thebenefits of both the
