This is by no means an easy task, but one that materialsscientists and engineers routinely engage in.What kinds of assessments can we craft for evaluating students’ integration capability?

Schrank’s study of artificial intelligence included a deep diveinto how the stories we tell relate to human memory and understanding [2].
