The lecture takes place in a regular large lecture hall with all students present. Thestudents enjoy the lecture because it is a learning environment they are accustomed to, and sincethey have already been exposed to the material they are encouraged to sit back, not take notes,and think about what is being said.

Her work is multi-faceted as she is responsible for completing a design from the concept stages and gathering requirements, to fabrication and assembly.

 2003, American Society for Engineering EducationSurfacesMost strengthening mechanisms involve placing surfaces or interfaces in to the material. Whenannealed the net surface area is reduced as these surfaces add energy to the material. Therefore itis vital that students understand surface energy so that they can understand the effect whichstructure has on properties and that which processing has on structure. Students combine severalof the lattices built earlier and measure surface energy through the “broken bond” model. Thebroken bond model is then used to explain why dislocations are also unstable and eliminatedduring annealing.Amorphous MaterialsIn order to understand the behavior of non-crystalline solids it is important to understand
