With the above stated goals, a sophomoreyear course was redesigned and renamed from “Introduction to Materials Science” to “MaterialsProperties and Design”. The instructor chose to both add additional content and use pedagogies toaddress each of the goals of the newly redesign curriculum. Contemporary ideologies were broughtinto the classroom by adding content at the end of each section to discussion how the topics pre-sented in class were applicable to existing and new real-world applications. A materials agnosticapproach was implemented by utilizing the integrated version of the Callister textbook.1
