andassignment, as detailed in the next section. Each of the three projects is conducted in teams of 3-4 students each and follows asimilar timeline. In the first week, we focus on technical content - apparatus and safety trainings,fundamental MSE principles relevant to the experiments, preliminary data collection andcomputational modeling, etc. We also introduce the final deliverable for the project and theassociated scenario, both to help students plan effectively and also to contextualize their workmore broadly societally. Over the next couple weeks, as students conduct their project work, weintroduce more complex considerations and questions to address, both from the MSE side (howdoes this really work at a fundamental level?) and from the

typically associated with “crafting” such as sewing machines, buttonmakers, and vinyl cutters [3]. Based on the historical gendering of crafting and fiber arts as“female,” we asked ourselves: by using crochet to study mechanical properties of materials, canwe flip the script on typical gender stereotypes that exist in an engineering course? Wouldstudents come away with an updated understanding of fiber arts as a form of engineering? Couldpositioning fiber arts in the context of engineering send the message that skills that women havebeen developing for millennia are just as much of an asset to an engineering skillset as 3Dprinting and the use of hand tools?In this paper, we present a lesson plan that can be used to introduce mechanical properties

MethodologyWe believe that a great curriculum is not a sole responsibility of a singular academic unit ordepartment in a university. Rather, a great curriculum should take into consideration theinputs from all stakeholders. Therefore, planning and execution of our curriculum review andrevamp exercise involves four key phases, as shown in Scheme 1.
