Research on Use of Cambridge Engineering Selector (CES4) Software in an Introductory Materials Science Course Chrysanthe Demetry Worcester Polytechnic InstituteI. IntroductionCambridge Engineering Selector (CES4) software1 is being used in both educational andprofessional settings as a tool for design and material selection. Using educational versions of thesoftware, students are able to browse a database of material attributes, learn about and comparedifferent materials in a graphical manner, and select materials using a variety of design criteria.Integration of the software into both elementary and advanced courses has been reported toengage
motivation to persist and complete their STEM degree. This paper presents preliminaryresults from two years of implementing both programs. The results show that students have ahigher appreciation and understanding of research and will seek other research opportunities inthe future as a result of their participation.IntroductionIn 2011, California State University Long Beach (CSULB) successfully received a HispanicServing Institution STEM grant from the US Department of Education. The grant serves Latinostudents from the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics and the College of Engineeringand its focus is to increase retention and graduation of underrepresented Latinos in the STEMfields.
