a broad set of phenomena in thedisciplines of chemical, mechanical, aero, and materials engineering. In the field of materialsengineering the knowledge of relationships between liquid and solid phase behavior as a functionof composition and temperature is used to understand the formation and evolution of materials'microstructures, which can be used to predict and engineer a material's properties.It is usually assumed that prerequisite science classes provide students with a foundation forapplication of the content and problem solving skills used in engineering applications through aprocess that is referred to as transfer. However, the book, How People Learn: Brain, Mind,Experience, and School2, discusses the fact that there are issues
