She received her PhD at the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign under Professor Paul Braun. Her research was split: focusing on manipulating eutectic material microstructures for optical applications and examining how en- gineering outreach programs influence participants’ self-perceptions of engineering and self-confidence. Her interests lie in materials education and STEM outreach.Dr. Claes Fredriksson, ANSYS Granta Currently

of Atomic Bonds and their Relation to Mechanical Properties of Metals in an Introductory Materials Science Engineering CourseAbstractWe report on initial findings of a project to identify, study, and address student difficulties in auniversity-level introductory materials science course for engineers. Through interviews of over80 students and testing of over 300 students, we examined in detail student understanding of theatomic bonding and mechanical properties of metals. Here we describe a number of studentdifficulties in understanding atomic bonding and its relation to macroscopic properties ofmetals. For example, students often confuse density, strength of atomic bonds, meltingtemperature, and yield strength. Many students

RQ2: What are students’ motivations on programming assignments in technical engineering courses, as they relate to task value, intrinsic goal orientation, and extrinsic goal orientation? RQ3: Do students see the value of programming skills for both computer-based simulations and data analysis?This paper further investigates students’ motivations towards CMSE

You wonder about the students around you, how they did in the “weed out” courses,how smart they are, how far along in the program they may be.Your instructor enters, and all the whispers in the room quickly fall to silence. The instructor isfairly new to the mechanical engineering department, so you have not heard much about histeaching style. He is younger than you expected

This is in part dueto students interested in the environmental aspects of civil engineering, such as water quality, butalso due to changes in the civil engineering curriculum which led to students needing a one-hourelective course to meet graduate requirements. A similar change was made in the aerospaceengineering program which made the one-hour elective attractive.Student survey results indicate that the students were satisfied with the course and learned usefulinformation and concepts on sustainability related research.
