relating material behavior across scales. This bottom-up approach willenable the students to develop a fundamental understanding about material properties and how theyevolve from their atomic structure. To reinforce the concepts instilled during lecture the labcomponents ME 352/CE305L are being modified to include the following modules: 1. Hardness and Young’s modulus measurements of ceramics at nanoscale 2. Fatigue of metals in MEMS devices 3. Atomic Force Microscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy.Sample Module: Nano characterization of human enamel, dentine and dental fillingsThe authors have piloted introduction of nanotechnology modules in materials science class duringspring 2007 session and this effort yielded an excellent outcome

Session 12-20 Postsurgical Finite Element Analysis of Mandibular Fracture Fixation Scott T. Lovald, Tariq Khraishi Mechanical Engineering Dept., University of New Mexico Jon Wagner, Bret Baack Department of Surgery, University of New Mexico AbstractSurgeons often supplement surgeries involving rigid internal fixation of mandibularfractures with a short postoperative period of intermaxillary fixation (IMF) to allow a fewweeks of healing in the fracture region before normal patient functioning is allowed. It isbelieved that this
