perceptions and levels of confidence in their abilities are changing. Ourhypothesis is that students (juniors, in materials engineering at Cal Poly) exposed to thedesign method through PBL activities would indicate a higher degree of confidence inpracticing the design attributes than the quasi control group (students from across thecollege of engineering at Cal Poly including civil, mechanical, electrical, manufacturingand aerospace engineering) who have not been exposed to our PBL based curriculum. Weshould note that students at Cal Poly are immersed in a “hands-on” learning environmentand so the control group has been exposed to some elements of the design method throughcourses outside of the department of materials engineering

Thisarticle discusses new hybrid classroom methods and survey results implemented in the spring of2015 at Salt Lake Community College.

. Furthermore, the mathematical modeling of the deformation behavior of polymers posesdistinct challenges at the undergraduate level. For example, in mechanical engineeringcurriculum, students are first briefly introduced to the science and engineering of polymers in atwo hundred level course on materials. The subject of mathematical modeling that can be used tosimulate their deformation behavior can only be lightly broached due to the number of othertopics, such as metals, phase diagrams etc., that must also be included in this course. A morebinding constraint is imposed by the level of mathematical sophistication inherent in thesemodels, and the requisite programming skills necessary to conduct a meaningful investigation ofvarious test conditions and

brief description of our re-designed learning activities to improveoutcomes in future years.1. Introduction1.1 Diffusion as emergent process and “levels confusions”Atomic-scale diffusion is a critical physical behavior in the field of materials science as well asmany other areas of science and engineering. Diffusion is also well documented in educationliterature as difficult to understand, especially when the main mode of instruction is lecture-based as opposed to inquiry-based [1]–[3]. One difficulty stems from “levels confusion” [4] inwhich a person attributes properties of the macro-level to the micro-level or vice versa. Forexample, traffic jams emerge from collection of cars in transit, and, surprisingly, they move inthe opposite direction

included a reference to a preliminary report whichsuggested a bifurcation of engineering curricula into two types of programs: a generalprofessional category and a scientific professional category. The former would focus on morepractical applications to meet the needs of industry and the latter would be centered on math andscience geared towards careers in design, research, and development. This proposal was rejectedby the engineering faculty who reviewed the preliminary report, and the consensus was that allengineering curricula should incorporate strengthened basic science content. Despite therejection of this proposed bifurcation by the engineering community, many universities beganexpanding their existing two-year technology programs into four

The labs illustrate andexpand on concepts covered in lecture. In fact, student evaluations specifically mentioned thatcertain concepts only made sense after the lab.The labs provide an opportunity to include non-traditional materials in the course.
