independent study over developingan advanced course was quite positive. It was important to have interested and dedicatedstudents on this project, which was ultimately fairly time-consuming. It was also essential toextend the work across two semesters to successfully complete all phases of the project: design,build, create specimens, test, and analyze data.1. IntroductionUndergraduate research is a great mechanism for students to apply their basic skills, developexperimental methods, and to address challenging and difficult problems. Kuh [1] identified thisas one “high-impact” educational experience. Research forces students to wrestle with a problemin much more detail – and for a much longer amount of time – than the majority of theundergraduate

This paper describes two sustainable materialsengineering modules that were added to this. Active learning techniques were used to introducethese topics. This project focused on using an Entrepreneurial Minded Learning (EML)approach to the materials course.The first module was about how a material’s structure affects its properties. The class examinedthe materials used in baseball

Why is this other property leftunchanged? Worked examples show what you can do Figure 1. The Process-Structure-with the package, and a set of “micro-projects” (with Properties-Performance tetrahedronspecimen answers for the Instructor’s use) promptstudents to explore for themselves. We have trialled the package, which is currently in Pre-release form, with a small number of students and are now looking for feedback, particularlyon the Interactive Phase Diagram Tool and the Active Learning “Micro Projects”.

cohort and a distance cohort to whomthe lectures were delivered asynchronously. The class included a term project focused onreplacing a part currently in service with a similar part fabricated from composite materials aswell as weekly homework assignments and in-class exams. All students were given pre- andposttests to gauge learning gains over the course and an end-of-term survey was administeredrelated to student perceptions and preferences. Performance results, preference results, andclassifications of submitted muddiest points will be compared between the on-campus anddistance cohorts. Differences in demographics (age, work experience, etc.) are expected topotentially affect the value that each cohort puts on different aspects of the course

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, for instance, how light is absorbed in photo-voltaic materials. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2018 Measuring Student Learning of Crystal Structures

think is going to beespecially difficult because they don’t think that their hard work will help them succeed. Incontrast, students with a growth mindset might appreciate the learning opportunities that awell-structured but difficult class offers.The purpose of this project was to first determine the mindset of MSE 308 students and then todetermine if their mindsets can be shifted away from a fixed mindset and toward a growthmindset. There were two research questions this project sought to address based on the plannedinterventions, (1) will those students with a more fixed mindset adopt more of a growth mindset?and (2) will students’ attitudes about their own abilities in what are perceived to be difficultclasses change?Method
