All teachers in the twoparticipating elementary schools received targeted professional development on theirnew science and engineering units (Table 1) and taught the units between January andMay. All professional development was contracted from one provider (not the authors ofthis study). This organization also provided all curriculum materials to the district.

We intend to enroll students from the entire science and engineering universitycommunity so that they may be prepared to contribute to the many exciting nanometer materialsand systems discoveries that are possible as they pursue their careers.There are many challenges to the success of this endeavor. Principle among these deals with theissues to be addressed if a hands-on laboratory instruction component is to be integral to thecourse. The resources needed for such instruction, in for example thin-film material deposition,can be significant. We discuss the approach of applying a graphical icon or

Optimizing Engineering Materials Laboratory Time with TechnologyBySteven M. Cramer, Nancy Ciezki, Hussain Bahia, Carole Kraakand Carole SchrammUniversity of Wisconsin-MadisonAbstractThe background of engineering students has changed over the years, resulting in newchallenges in teaching hands-on laboratories. Engineering design involves visualization.This visualization spans the spectrum from understanding how pieces of a structure fittogether to having a first hand knowledge of how material deforms, flows or fracturesunder different loads. Engineering laboratories provide critical hands-on experiencesthat build visualization skills at the same time that material or structure behaviors aredemonstrated. But engineering laboratory time is
teaching Materials Science and Engineering fundamentals and laboratory principles. The modular approach facilitates technology transfer to variety of schools and teaching settings. The “modules” include multi-media computer programs, videotaped Page 3.571.1 demonstrations and hands-on laboratories. One objective of this paper is to describe the multi-media and video-based modules thatwere developed for introductory engineering materials courses. Detailed descriptions of thehands-on laboratory experiments are not included here but can be obtained from the web sitecited below. A second objective is to disseminate the results of

Twogroups were consulted, one undergraduate, n=15 (relatively homogenous in age andethnicity) with campus students taught in Swedish, and one graduate, n=24, from a morediverse (nationality) one-year Master program mixed online (58%) and Campus (42%)students and taught in English. The survey questions were given both at the start of the coursemodule, with required preparation before the computer lab, as well as with the lab assignmentto hand in after the lab. The questions are shown in Table 1, below.Table 1. The survey questions rated by students, ranging from 1 (not much) to 5 (very much). A How interesting do you find materials science and engineering?

In addition, students are introduced toadvanced materials such as composites and ceramics.Design and Manufacturing with Materials: Recognizing that engineers select material/processcombinations from those with which they are most comfortable, another course sequence [ 343:Materials Processing → 311: Computer-aided Design → 464: Design for Manufacture ]was streamlined. Each course in this sequence culminates in an individual or team project. In343, students obtain hand-on experience with lathes, milling machines, drill presses etceteras.

MATERIALS SCIENCE PERSPECTIVESThe work reported here provided the material science perspectives of the product archaeology.Typically, this originated in Gate 3 and evaluated in detail in Gate 4. The background of theearly engineering students in materials science was grossly inadequate. Therefore, they wereprovided some basics on materials in the lecture classes. A total of five lectures were devoted forthat purpose. The variety of materials, namely metals, ceramics, polymers, and composites wasdiscussed. The key concepts introduced were stress, strain

A nice list of web sites withextensive materials information or lists of references to other materials related sites is presentedin Reference 1.One of the criteria associated with ABET 2000 is “The recognition of the need for, and an abilityto engage in life- long learning.” It is the authors’ opinion that identifying, retrieving, andorganizing information is an important aspect of life- long learning. One of the ways this criteriahas been addressed at Rose-Hulman is by requiring students in the materials engineering class toresearch a material of their choice and to present their work in the form of a poster session.

. Science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education in America is not yetachieving satisfactory results with traditionally underrepresented minority students. The high attrition rateof African Americans from the STEM pipeline has been identified as a greater barrier to increasedrepresentation than their attraction to non-quantitative fields. Critical thinking skills and self-directedinquiry are two areas that if enhanced at the entry level of science and engineering education, couldpossibly increase motivation for STEM careers for minority students when other barriers are addressed.There is a need within the curriculum for a process focused on how to effectively deliver the fundamentalidea of the material to help the students learn

To ensure the progress and success of smart materials and structurestechnology, engineering and technology educators need to make strong efforts to educate thestudents. At Jackson State University (JSU), two lab modules (Piezoelectric Sensors andActuators, and Photostrictive Actuators) have been added to several existing courses that havehelped undergraduate students develop hands-on experience as well as strengthen students’foundation in smart materials and structures technology
