; Alpert defined subclass polymorphism as a property that”allows different objects to respond individually to precisely the same message” [1], a definitionaffirmed by Armstrong’s survey of definitions of object-oriented (OO) concepts [2]. Becauseimplementing a polymorphic solution requires correctly integrating several challengingunderlying concepts, polymorphism is among the most complex topics taught in introductorycourses.A very simple example of subclass polymorphism can be demonstrated by calling a method vialate binding on each element in an array containing multiple types. In Java, a programmer must(see Listings 1 and 2): 1. Define a superclass with at least one method (Foo, Line 18) 2. Define one or more subclasses (Bar & Grault

introduced to engineeringexperiments and calculations through a series of modules in measurements. The primary goal ofthis course is to expose freshmen engineering students to multidisciplinary projects that teachengineering principles using the theme of engineering measurements in both laboratory and real-world settings. This concept is an inversion of the traditional laboratory curriculum paradigm.The current situation is that freshman programs focus either on a design project or discipline-specific experiments that may not be cohesively integrated. In real-world settings engineers workin multidisciplinary teams on a variety of complex problems. The fundamental principles ofmeasurement and their application are crucial to the solution of these

defining what counts as fundamental knowledge. Acolleague once referred to our undergraduate education as “the grind” which students had to getthrough in order to be able to function as an engineer. Is the grind necessary in the era of easilyaccessible information? Who are we weeding out by requiring internalization of facts?Consider calculus 1 and 2 which are required for just about every engineering student. Finding acentroid is part of every good integration lesson, yet students get to basic courses without the firstidea of how to do that calculation or how centroids relate to balance points or centers of gravity.Should those basic math courses actually be required?

The applicability of MSE to varioustraditional engineering programs also means that students from other (not majoring in MSE)disciplines are also required to register for an introductory level materials class as a part of theircore undergraduate curriculum.

purely student-motivatededucational system this may be satisfactory, but the constraints of a degree within an accrediteduniversity curriculum require otherwise. Motivation often increases, however, when studentscompare themselves to one another. Having students report their work periodically to the entireclass motivates them to keep up with the class norm.Another difficulty with student-motivated learning is that it is time- and labor-intensive for theteacher. The teacher needs to be very involved in each students work in order to identifyproposed lab experiments that are likely to become disasters, as well as to help insure thesuccess of valid lab objectives. It is easy for a student to fall behind and become discouragedwhen he or she is not
