American Society for Engineering Education, 2016 Using Mechanical Testing of Disposable Plastic Cups to Illustrate Processing-Structure-Property Relationships in an Introductory Materials Laboratory CourseA hands-on activity was implemented in a sophomore-level materials engineering laboratory toillustrate how the structure and properties of polymeric materials are directly influenced by themethod of processing. The mechanical properties of specimens cut from the walls ofpoly(ethylene terephthalate) cups, oriented parallel and perpendicular to the thermoformingdirection, were measured in tension. The parallel sample displayed greater elastic moduli, yieldstress, and predominantly ductile deformation

However, in cross-disciplinary fields such as bioengineering, knowledge and use of life sciences is as important asapplying engineering principles. Thus, we need to identify ways to introduce more life sciencestrategies into our bioengineering curriculum. One way to
