Rotating Principal Stresses In A Materials Science CourseABSTRACTThis work constitutes a laboratory component of a junior level materials science course andillustrates the importance of rotating principal stresses in the design of components such as theautomotive crankshaft. The activity is centered on Mohr’s circle for biaxial stress situationsinvolving time varying normal and shear stresses. A number of dynamic situations have beenconsidered, namely. (a) sinusoidally varying normal and shear stresses that are in phase, (b)sinusoidally varying normal and shear stresses that are 90° out of phase, (c) constant normalstress and sinusoidally varying shear stress, and (d) sinusoidally varying normal stress andconstant

Specifically, we focused on ABET1 criterion 3.B.d, “Criteria for AccreditingEngineering Technology Programs 2013-2014, General Criterion 3:B. For baccalaureate degreeprograms, these student outcomes must include, but are not limited to, the following learnedcapabilities: d. an ability to design systems, components, or processes for broadly-definedengineering technology problems appropriate to program educational objectives”Our interest was to ascertain if previous student experience affects a student’s ability to design.If we could correlate previous experience to an increase

Beaker B was left to evaporate until halfof its solvent remained; after which a string attached to a supporting rod was lowered into thesupersaturated solution so the excess solute in the solution could nucleate and crystallize on thestrong. At each step of this process, students were required to choose the most appropriate termthat best fit the definition that described the type of solution in a given beaker and then write anassociated explanation for their choice.ParticipantsThe participants in this study were the students enrolled in a section of an introductory materialscience class entitled "Structure and

material based upon previous knowledge that they may have.To measure student learning, pre- and post- Materials Concept Inventory (MCI) exams wereadministered. The MCI is a 30-minute, multiple choice exam that is available on-line and measuresstudents’ conceptual knowledge and reasoning. A sample MCI question regarding electrical conductivitybetween aluminum and glass is as follows: Aluminum is a better electrical conductor than is glass becausealuminum: a) has more total electrons per volume b) has more conducting electrons per volume c) haselectrons which move faster d) has electrons which move slower e) has more conducting electrons pervolume and they move faster than those in glass. The topics in the MCI exams are as listed in Table 3

objectives to describe the testing methods and typical responses ofcommon materials as well as to apply the concepts of capacity fade mechanisms to identifymethods to increase the service life of a battery were covered near the end of the semester. Thestudents receiving graduate credit for the course had a homework assignment specific to the topicof capacity fade mechanisms. The average grade for this assignment was a B+, which is why it isbelieved that it was the graduate students’ responses that were on the higher end of theconfidence ratings in the ability to meet this objective. The objective with the lowest confidencerating was in the ability to describe testing methods and typical responses of common materials.As this topic was covered near
