toevaluate an engineering report submitted by students completing the design activity (AppendixA).Since our intention was directed at comparisons of design abilities, and not the absolutemeasurement these abilities, we chose not to engage in a search for other assessment instruments.A cursory search reveals many instruments such as the CEDA, PCT, PSVT-R mentioned in arecent JEE article4.A constraint on this approach was that the activity primarily used teams. We targeted seniors, sothey had formal instruction in design. We chose to implement the activity with teams because itreflected typical work scenarios and because it was logistically prudent. So even if a singleengineering report reflected two to more students, the report itself could be

One only needsto examine the myriad of engineering outreach programs across the country1 to realize that thereis no “silver bullet” type activity. Within the Materials Science and Engineering (MSE)community there are several established methods of K-12 outreach2,3. The student chapter ofMaterial Advantage at Washington State University, the organization representing four of thelargest professional MSE societies (ASM International, TMS, AIST, and ACerS), has previouslycarried out various K-12 outreach programs ranging from undergraduates

The second is towrite a Wiki article about a specific material type. These articles will populate a student-drivenarchive of Materials Science content to be used in the future by other students. For both projects,students work in small groups in class once per week. Eight weeks are provided to develop thevideo project, while five are provided for the Wiki article.

These exercises use 3-4 member groups based on wherethe students are sitting in lecture (not necessarily their project team). This group dynamic ischosen solely for the sake of organizational time. Each group is given one copy of the question.The worksheet details the role of each group member (typically a leader, recorder, andspokesperson). The exercise is designed to take about 10 minutes of class time. During thattime, the instructor circulates the room answering individual group’s questions. Uponcompletion of the activity, groups are called on to discuss their questions and solutions. Thesolutions are posted online after class

For the Spring 2015semester a hands-on lab component on material testing was conducted while for Spring 2016 asoftware simulation based project was assigned. The objective was to assess a key pedagogicalparameter “achievement of ABET student outcomes”, focusing mainly on (a) an ability to designand conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data, (b) an ability to design asystem, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints and (c) anability to communicate

It is also known that motivation to learnaffects student outcomes and that learners are motivated “when they can see the usefulness ofwhat they are learning and when they can use it to do something that has an impact onothers”25,9. Thus, it seems appropriate to find contexts for materials engineering course activitiesthat draw upon the students’ pre-existing knowledge and their previous/personal experiences. Inour courses, we have tried two such context areas. One of these focus areas used music stringsand stringed instrument design and the other, newer focus area uses biomedical devices thatexperience significant loads in service.

A teaching assistant can also perform the review and it has been found to be beneficial to record these or at least have the teaching assistant provide a set of ‘narrated PowerPoint Slides’ so that the slides can be collected in a data bank and used for future classes. Students engage and are very responsive to hearing these reviews from other students. 2) Videos: At first, a couple of videos were used from ‘Muddiest Points’ collection on ‘YouTube5’ but it was found that if the explanations are too long then they lose impact.

Once the relevance of a property to a design is established, itbecomes logical to “drill down” to the underlying science, demonstrating where theproperty comes from and how it can be manipulated (Figure 1, reading right to left).In developing our design-led courses we have created a number of teaching tools andresources that aim to engage students in the field of materials and processes. And, inrecent years, we have optimized these tools to suit the teaching of first and secondyear courses. In the main, this has been achieved by focusing on four key questions:how to make students relate to materials, how to forge the link between materials andprocesses, how to prevent students becoming swamped with information, and how

Over the last five years, the authors(instructors) have taught the ‘Introduction to Materials Science and Engineering’ classexclusively to the non-MSE students (primarily from mechanical, industrial and electricalengineering). From the student feedback obtained during this time, instructors realized the needfor a hands-on project for sustaining students’ interests and keeping them engaged while learningthe fundamental concepts of the field. It is thus necessary that the traditional materials sciencetetrahedron (Figure 1(a)) should be modified to cater to the interests of students from non
