Althoughsomewhat different laboratory exercises are used in the course sequences of the two programs,both have the goal of providing hands-on experimentation, reverse engineering projects in smallgroups, and small-team design projects. Engineering is now “up-front” and “hands-on”.Teamwork, project management, report writing, and oral presentations have assumed importantroles in these programs.

However, students follow predeterminedprocedures and, thus, they lack critical thinking, real and complex problem solving as they areguided through the steps of the experiment and through its analysis by the guided questions. To help improve the students’ experiences and knowledge, two hands-on exercises were designedand added to the course content. The objectives of each exercise were designed to meet theCLOs of the course. Students would have to design, conduct tests and submit a report with alimited duration of time in and out of class.The

addition to helping students understand systems from an emergent perspective, computationalatomistic approaches also expose students to computational materials science techniques. Thereis a widespread consensus among academics, national labs and industry that computation willplay an increasingly important role in MatSE and that both undergraduate and graduateeducation should reflect that [13]–[15]. There are multiple ways to integrate computation intoMatSE education. One approach taken by several departments is for students to solve problemsusing computational tools designed for research and industry [16]–[21]. The advantage of thisapproach is that students learn to use tools they are likely to encounter in professional settings. Asecond approach
