methodsfor the production of carbon nanotubes were the subject of two active research projects at theuniversity15, 16. The nanotechnology experiment described in this work is based on the results andmethods from these projects.Carbon nanotubes are mostly produced by chemical vapor deposition17, laser ablation18, or arcdischarge. Using the arc-discharge, carbon nanotubes are synthesized by striking an electric arcbetween two graphite electrodes in an inert atmosphere. High temperatures developed betweenthe electrodes and high current densities allow formation of carbon nanotubes as deposits on thecathode as well as on the walls of a reaction chamber19. There are reported results on the arc-discharge method in various media like helium, argon, liquid

Additionally, they believe MSE graduates should at least be aware of whatsimulations used in their field and what is computationally feasible 2 . They also highlighted a gapbetween industry and what is taught in class - while students are typically taught molecular andatomic-scale simulations in class, employers are more interested in macroscopic, continuummodels 1 .As a result of these surveys, faculty started an initiative project to address the shortcomings in ourMSE curriculum

Previous studies by Cavalli et al.1 in arequired junior level materials science course (also taught to both on-campus and distancesections) indicated distance students, who are often working professionals, tended tounderestimate their mastery of the material as represented by posttest performance. In contrast,on-campus students tended to overestimate their understanding of the course topics. Distancestudents attributed a higher value to recorded lectures and homework assignments with regardsto aiding their understanding and on-campus students valued in-class discussions.

Most curricula include some opportunity for independentor small group research, even if it is only limited to a literature review on a specific topic.Another research opportunity available to most undergraduate engineering students is anindependent study course. Research is also an important experience for undergraduate studentsconsidering going on to graduate school.There is a great deal of literature describing the value of undergraduate research, especially forscience and engineering students.

He has co-developed a Materials Concept Inventory and a Chemistry Concept Inventory for assessing conceptual knowledge and change for intro- ductory materials science and chemistry classes. He is currently conducting research on NSF projects in two areas. One is studying how strategies of engagement and feedback with support from internet tools and resources affect conceptual change and associated impact on students’ attitude, achievement, and per- sistence.

It is also taken by students in other engineering majors as an engineeringelective, and is their only exposure to materials science and engineering. The course covers abroad range of material; as taught by the author the topics can be broken down into thecategories of materials structure and defects, diffusion, phase diagrams, phase transformations,mechanical properties, composites, corrosion, and electrical properties.In this project, activities are being developed that cover the topics currently taught by the authorin his Introduction to Materials class

Depending onthe number of students enrolled in the course, the project work involved working individually orin groups on an experiment and then writing an individual or a group report. At the end of theproject, each individual/group was required to make an oral presentation on his/her/their workcontribution and findings. The individual/group report was 10-15 pages in length with adequatetechnical content and literature survey.Guest Lectures and Laboratory Tours: The special feature of this course was lectures by a limitednumber of guest speakers (maximum two).
