Engineering Materials Classes at PurdueThe School of Civil Engineering at Purdue University has long been dedicated to teachingstudents about engineering materials. This dedication began in 1883 with a laboratory for testingmaterials in the college of engineering [1]. In 1899, this lab was moved to the school of civilengineering and eventually became the foundation for CE 231 – Engineering Materials I and CE331 – Engineering Materials II. While these courses were referred to as the "Busting Labs" atthe turn of the century, since the 1960's these courses have strived to provide students with aProceedings of the 2005 Midwest Section Conference of the American Society for Engineering Education
