engineering majors. As a result,one of the ever-present challenges in teaching a required introductory MSE course to a broadengineering audience is creating student buy-in. We posit that this barrier can be overcome bysituating materials selection within the context of a college campus. In this study, we implementa final project in an undergraduate Intro to Materials Science course which requires students toweave together technical knowledge from the course with their own life experience to solve aproblem on campus. Through a student survey, we seek to understand the sources of knowledgestudents leverage in order to identify and address an on-campus materials-related challenge. Wefurther explore the impact of this project and the MSE course as a

throughout the program’s curriculum to complete a design project. This paperinvestigates the ongoing work of restructuring a traditional one-semester, 3-credit springcapstone experience in materials science and engineering into a two-semester fall (1-credit) andspring (2-credit) experience. During the restructuring of the capstone experience, the Human-Centered Design (HCD) framework, a method to formalize the design process in discrete stages,was integrated into the course content. Due to course catalog constraints, a 1-credit fall coursewas piloted in Fall 2022 as an elective for seniors (enrollment was approximately 30% of thesenior population); the traditional 3-credit course was still required of all seniors in Spring 2023.Aspects of HCD were

our students with the essential knowledge and skills necessary to excel inthe ever-advancing materials engineering industry. The collective curriculum review exercisesought to evaluate the existing curriculum, identify gaps and areas for improvement andaddress future needs of the materials engineering industry.Gathering relevant stakeholders’ input is a crucial element to guide this endeavour. Supportedby an education grant, this project, thus, aimed to survey and consult various stakeholdersincluding students, educator (faculty), alumni and employers on their feedback about theexisting Materials Engineering curriculum and their views of the future developments inMaterials Engineering industry. Subsequently, this study forms the basis for

students.On the other hand, some tools aim to reduce barriers to entry; for example, work by Weinhart etal. [19] provided comprehensive, easy to follow documentation for projects with differing levelof difficulty (i.e., simulation/code complexity).One strategy to develop beginner friendly tools is to use object-oriented coding and a high-levelinterface to interact with a low-level program, seen in Windows-Yule et al. [20] and Casas-Orozco et al., 2021 [21]. Utilizing Python to pass commands to LAMMPS greatly reduced thecomplexity and allows the user to focus on the problem they are simulating rather than syntax.Python’s advantages include dynamic types (i.e., the Python interpreter will automatically castdata into the correct type as it passes into a

Diagrams), and this acts as a mid-term project for the courseover two weekly lab periods. Thermo-Calc includes the ability to calculate both equilibriumphase behavior and phase behavior that results from precipitation hardening (appropriate for analuminum alloy); it also has models for predicting mechanical (e.g., yield strength) and electrical(e.g., conductivity) properties (among others) based on the calculated phase behavior.The task the students are presented with has two parts: 1. Simulate the alloy they made in the physical lab including thermomechanical processing and compare the predictions of the yield strength and conductivity to what was found experimentally. 2. Modify their alloy (either in composition, processing, or

structured nature of courses, allowingstudents to gain valuable insights and experiences in a more manageable and integrated manner.Examples of such collaborations include industry-driven capstone projects, research seminars,plant tours and guest lectures [7].In Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) undergraduate education, the integration ofindustry involvement within coursework has predominantly centered around capstone designcourses [8]. Here, students engage in semester-long projects, collaborating with industrysponsors to address research problems and deliver comprehensive reports. Other more infrequentassociation involve instructors inviting guest lecturers to contribute industry perspectives to thecoursework. However, aligning these

The ability for students to learn andperform an end-to-end data science workflow without writing a single line of code, all withinthe context of materials design, has the potential to enhance their educational experience butwill also improve their employability in a rapidly advancing field.

MSE curricula at upper-level undergraduateand graduate courses, introductory courses are still largely taught with traditional diagrams andformulae approaches, leaving computational thinking, exploration, and modeling for later. Thistraditional approach misses an opportunity to leverage computational modeling as a coreteaching and learning tool when students begin their study of MSE. According to the OpenSyllabus project [11], which has collected over 230,000 engineering syllabi, the most popularintroductory MSE textbook, authored by Callister and Rethwisch [12], is the second mostassigned textbook across all engineering disciplines. This textbook has been through manyeditions, but it was originally written in 1985 and does not include any
