theseconsiderations, the aspect of materials selection is seldom addressed.GENERAL CURRICULUM ISSUESIt is the opinion of the author that there is a definite need to include the basic elements ofmaterials selection before one embarks on the aspect of strength design of machineelements. This outlook needs to be introduced early on in the design curriculum. A fewbooks address this aspect, notably by Ashby [5] and Farag [6]. At the American Universityin Cairo, the materials selection course is introduced at the senior level but is not tied tothe course on the design of machine elements. However, very few curricula in the UnitedStates have the course on materials selection and if they do, there is no adequate tie-inwith the mechanical design course. For example

The first learning outcome of the ABET,Criterion 3 (a), states that, "Engineering programs must demonstrate that their graduates have anability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science and engineering appropriate to thediscipline"3. Simply stated, this requires that students need to be able to transfer previouslyacquired knowledge and skills to new engineering learning situations and applications.One important subject area taught in a fundamental way in chemistry and in an applied way inengineering is the domain of materials. It is an area of fundamental conceptual knowledge that isapplied to a broad set of disciplines in chemical, mechanical, aerospace, physics and

In the first project, a planar structural component was machined usingan abrasive waterjet (AWJ) cutting system. AWJ’s ability to machine a wide variety of materialsallowed students to select from materials with widely varying mechanical properties. In additionto satisfying loading requirements, each team was required to consider material costs, machiningcosts and recycling costs. In the second

One student complained about the fact that working groups had to gather materials for the validation of their analyses on their own and about having to design experiments on their own. 6. Five students were not pleased and grumbled openly about the fact that they were required to write a report in a lecture course on mechanics.Discussion and ConclusionsOne can legitimately wonder about the relevance of this type of assignment in a Mechanics class.In our experience, the relevance of the assignment is threefold. It is relevant 1) as an applicationof theory: many students are attracted to engineering because they are “doers”; they want tomake things, and so, they want to see how
