Inretrospect, I should have requested release time for course development.Working with the physics department on common courses was rewarding, and should lead topartnerships with other departments interested in materials topics.The most disheartening part of the process has been the lack of interest or support from theuniversity administration, especially with respect to laboratory funding. Conversely, the mostrewarding part has been the response from students. Classes are now filling well before thesemester begins, and student feedback shows that
