Based on this knowledge, students are introduced to the mechanical, electrical, chemical and thermal properties of many of the structural materials. Material selection and processing is also covered as part of the engineering design. In a companion laboratory class, students work as teams by going through different stages of polishing, then etching to observe the microstructure of 1040 steel, brass and aluminum in a metallurgical microscope followed by Brinell hardness test.

The “double bind” was comprised of the effects of dualoppressions, being both a woman and a person of color. After all, African American women areat the intersection of two of the most pervasive prejudices in this country: racism and sexism12.On the most general level, oppression denotes structural and material constraints thatsignificantly shape a person's sense of possibility and opportunities13.
