Paper ID #10563Customizable Virtual X-Ray Laboratory: An Innovative Tool for InteractiveOnline Teaching and LearningDr. Yakov E. Cherner, ATEL, LLC Dr. Yakov E. Cherner, a Founder and President of ATEL, LLC, taught science, engineering and technology disciplines to high school, college and university students. He has extensive experience in writing cur- ricula and developing educational software and efficient instructional strategies. Dr. Cherner introduced an innovative concept of multi-layered simulation-based conceptual teaching of science and technology. This instructional approach uses real-world objects, processes and

variouspolymers. Some of the salient features of individual modules are as follows: • It combines modeling and simulation with experimental data obtained by hands-on laboratory activity or by available data library of experiments. • It introduces usage of Matlab tools (GUI, state space modeling, symbolic toolbox, numerical solvers) in the field of material modeling and characterization, while emphasizing the application area of Biomaterials. • It facilitates the assimilation of proposed learning tools in a wide range of courses, and project-based learning experiences for undergraduate and graduate students.Description of learning studios and an individual module The first learning modules have been developed

engineering student, with background in mechanics of materials,materials science, and basic laboratory techniques, a project based on the strategy of materialsselection developed in the work and texts of Michael Ashby will be shown to mesh with theacademic outcomes required of the senior project course itself. The student work, highlighted inthe blue shaded boxes, will show the design process of an all–mountain ski. The design work andadvisor insight will be discussed in parallel as the facilitation of the one-semester project for anindividual student is as important as the advisor’s ability to provide guidance and assess that thecourse outcomes are met.As you begin your discussion with your student, be sure they do have some ‘expertise’ in thearea

in Engineering Technology.Courses such as Robotics and Mechatronics, Quality Control, Manufacturing Materials,Microcontrollers, and Applied Mechanics can benefit from the laboratory experience inapplications of sustainability and eco design as well as material and processes selection. As wellas helping in the teaching of various courses, such experience benefits students who are pursuingdegrees in the engineering field. Students in the Mechanical, Electrical, Industrial andBiomedical fields along with many others can learn many new skills from case study projectssuch as designing and fabricating various consumer products, machines and equipment. Suchprojects show students how to use different types of technology, and demonstrate how

processing, novel instrumentation development, and integration science; new dielectric, superconducting, semiconducting, and pyroelectric materials for energy conversion and energy storage; ferroelectric and piezoelectric thin films for microelectromechanical systems; scanning probe and x-ray diffraction characterization meth- ods; and spectroscopic ellipsometry. Specifically he is interested in developing novel integration science strategies to combine material functionalities that result in significantly enhanced, or even new, properties. Prior to arriving at OSU he spent eight years at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) as a postdoc- toral researcher and member of the technical staff. There, his research on 2nd
