In the class, the instructors focused on demonstrating real-world materialsproblems and guiding the students to solve the problems using different computational modelingtechniques. Learning the computational modeling concepts within a short period of time waschallenging to the students. Another challenge was that the students had various STEMbackgrounds, such as MSE, mechanical engineering, and physics. In order to foster studentlearning, engage student interest and seamlessly couple computational modeling modules withthe courses, real-world problems, examples and homework were all developed based on studentbackground and

For example, the shape of the liquidus curve on the iron-carbon phasediagram helps explain why cast steels are more expensive to manufacture than cast irons.In this course, students develop graphical skills from lectures, handouts, and assignments. Forexample, students plot their own hardness readings together with an empirically-derived ASTMcurve, then they evaluate how well their data matches the curve. They create phase diagramsfrom alloy data. They create stress-strain diagrams from their own laboratory readings, andcalculate mechanical properties from the results. They learn how to deal with outliers on ahomework assignment. They learn that Excel’s built-in curve-fitting

Students identify two key parameters of crackingsensitivity, the Nil Strength Temperature (NST) and the Nil Ductility Temperature (NDT) foralloy systems they test. Students pull samples to failure on heating to the NST and on coolingfrom the NST. Students record strength and ductility of each sample. This approach providesquantitative strength and ductility data under thermomechanical conditions which approximateindustrial environments. Students examine fractured samples using scanning electronmicroscopy (SEM), optical microscopy (OM) and electron microprobe analysis (EMPA).The laboratory allows students to observe changes in the mechanical properties of materials as

Several simple, low-cost activities were developedto promote mechanics concept comprehension, and link these concepts to practical applicationsand prior knowledge.

At ten weeks, studentswere still enrolled in statics and so the retention posttest was administered in class.

However, there are thousands of other materials which arecommonly used in industry and academia which exhibit different behaviors or are moreinconsistent between samples. These materials may behave differently when subjected todifferent loading conditions such as tension
