. Instead of multiple models ornumerous equations, this framework focuses on a small number of elementary models which canbe applied to a variety of scientific phenomena. This is in opposition to common teachingstrategies in Materials Science. Our second research question, thus, was to study students’understanding of the Materials Science content departing from this agent-based perspective. A third research question, about which we will present only preliminary results, was toinvestigate the learning outcomes of building computer models. In other words, does coding (i.e.,programming) multi-agent-based models generate deeper understanding of the scientificphenomena, as opposed to just interacting with ready-made models?

Depending on the specific hypotheses, post-assessment may include observation, measurements, experiments, and surveys.Research on active learning, collaborative learning, and assessment is often based on long termstudies performed over an academic semester or a period of years. Also, most studies focus onthe assessment of undergraduate student performance in response to learning objectives. Theoriginal aspect of the present research is its focus on single instruction in one class period and itscomparative analysis of teaching the same material

Theseoutcomes can be difficult to demonstrate. One method of documenting these particular outcomesis to include case studies of failed engineering works in the curriculum. Many case studies showthe direct societal impact of failures, and demonstrate the need for life-long learning byhighlighting the evolutionary nature of engineering design procedures. Case studies also address the revised criterion c, design within realistic constraints. Casestudies, and specifically failure case studies, illuminate how “economic, environmental

The authors’ research into existing entrepreneurship case materialsrevealed a large number of cases, but several factors led us to develop our own case studiesrather than try to adopt those existing cases. These factors include: • The focus of the case studies is mainly on the business and entrepreneurship aspects as opposed to on application of engineering principles in an entrepreneurial venture (though many of the products are highly technical in nature). • The desire for the author’s to engage area technical entrepreneurs to begin to build relationships with that community. • Many of the cases are quite long (i.e., would take more class time than the authors envision being available – at least before the idea
