A portion of this activitywas described originally in a 2005 ASEE Conference paper. The activity has been used forseveral years in the laboratory portion of the course and it has been very successful. However,one question that comes to mind is May we compare cast mechanical properties with those ofwrought properties for similar alloys. During lecture, comparisons of wrought and cast propertiesare frequently made, and it is shown that ratio of wrought to cast properties is frequently greaterthan one. To date, the direct comparison has not been done in this course. Using the studentdesigned solid models, it is possible to

down to a one-, ortwo-semester introductory level course. Such courses in Thermodynamics are also common, butthe First and Second Laws don’t change much from year to year. How we teach them might(and should) change, but the fundamental properties are universal. Similarly, new computerlanguages and programming codes replace older ones (C++ for Fortran, for example), but theend goal is the same: to write a program that performs a specified function and to understand theimplicit logic behind this process. Materials science, in contrast, is a cumulative discipline, andthe incorporation of new topics such as self-assembly and nanocomposites proves to be difficultif the fundamental topics such as structure, phase equilibrium and mechanical

dislocations). “Purity” is taken as a synonym for low energy,whereas the Laplace-Young equation (studied in class) stated a very different idea. Impurities arenot eliminated by grain growth, and growth can exist in 100% pure materials. Interestingly, healso states that temperature causes molecules to “move faster”, which would be a “drivingforce”, confusing causality and mechanism. Apparently, he imagines that grain growth drivesimpurities to the outside of the material, “cleaning” it. Here we can notice that students “mix-and-match” models that appear superficially to be related, such as “grain growing” and “grainspushing impurities out”. Betty goes even further searching for explanations. The phenomenonshe describes (deformation and
