The proposed ‘adopt-a-material’ project methodology workswithin the framework of the modified materials engineering diagram (Figure 1(b)) and harnessesthe natural curiosity students bring to the course to engage with MSE.Figure 1: Modifying the MSE tetrahedron suitable to other engineering majorsThe need for a different pedagogical approach to engage students Apart from the challenge of balancing the MSE curriculum between fundamental topics andinterdisciplinary product applications, instructors must also keep students intellectually engagedthroughout the semester. In the current age of social media and various multimedia platforms, theattention span of a typical student has gone down [3], [4]. Thus, it is

While the model is relatively new, initial work has been carriedout to assess student outcomes against a range of relevant metrics.ResultsApproval to report anonymous student exam scores and evaluation feedback (both current andarchival), and administer and analyze student surveys, was obtained from the University ofSouthern California Institutional Review Board (USC IRB). The IRB designee determined thatthe information reported here meets the requirements outlined in 45 CFR 46.101(b) categories(1) (2) and (4) and the study therefore qualified for exemption.A tiered approach has been used for the implementation of the lab-based model of MASC 310 atUSC.

[15].Appendix B summarizes the survey for Study 2.Overview of Studies 1 and 2Study participants were recruited from students enrolled in a junior-year materials kineticscourse at a large research institution. The required MSE course integrates CMSE topics using aseries of four MATLAB programming assignments throughout the term [16]. Students firstcomplete two introductory modules that prepare them to complete two comprehensive modulesrelated to course content. A comparison of the instructor and course enrollments are given inTable 1. The two terms represent the third and fourth times that the instructor had taught theclass, each time incorporating MATLAB programming assignments
