Paper ID #30003Software Support for Materials-related Active LearningDr. Kaitlin Tyler, ANSYS Inc. Kaitlin is currently an Education Fellow with the Granta Education Division at ANSYS. She received her PhD at the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign under Professor Paul Braun. Her research was split: focusing on manipulating eutectic material microstructures for optical applications and examining how en- gineering outreach programs influence participants’ self-perceptions of engineering and self-confidence. Her interests lie in materials education and STEM outreach.Dr. Claes Fredriksson, ANSYS Granta Currently

semester that integrated social context into a technically focused course. Thiscourse, a third-year Engineering Materials Science course taught by the second author, is arequired course for Integrated Engineering and an elective for Mechanical and Industrial andSystems Engineering students. This course was designed to introduce engineering students to thefundamentals of materials science engineering. Modules were accompanied by homework andexam questions to reinforce the relevance of these topics to the overall class. Incorporating socialcontent into engineering courses requires an intentional, sustained, and consistent approach thatbears in mind student’s limited time, conflicting priorities, and level of maturity.Of the four modules, two have

. He has also developed many computation-based curricular units for use in K-16 that are used internationally. He is the co-inventor of, and continues to develop restructuration theory that describes the changing content of knowledge in the context of ubiquitous computation, and its implications for making sense of complexity. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2020 Learning About Diffusion at Two Levels: Agent-based Micro-scale and Equation-based Macro-scaleAbstractDiffusion is a crucial phenomenon in many fields of science and engineering, and it is known tobe difficult for students to learn and understand. Ideally, students should understand (1) themacro-level
