While every effort is made to reduce costs, tuitionincreases have been implemented. With the existence of numerous lower cost alternatives toundergraduate education, Virginia Tech continually looks to implement new programs thatprovide improved services to students, services that exist beyond the traditional classroom.University wide honors programs, study abroad

The instructor provided additional information on what needs to beincluded in the case (e.g., people involved, setting, problems, etc.). The students are also chargedto develop open-ended assessment questions that allow readers to engage in quality reflectionsabout engineering leadership.

As a result of this dualism, engineering students aremisled into thinking that engineering exists within a vacuum (Johnson et al., 2019; Trevelyan,2014). If their engineering courses focus solely on building their technical skills, students mayenter the professional field with little experience in addressing bigger problems that affectmembers in society beyond the traditional stakeholders they were exposed to in their engineeringprograms, who are often those who hold the most power in society (Leydens & Lucena, 2017).Efforts to introduce the social dimensions of engineering are typically sprinkled into design andcapstone courses (Leydens & Lucena, 2017) or designated to standalone

Engineering Education, 2024 Re-Envisioning Materials Science Education Through Atomic-Level Computational ModelingAbstract: This paper presents a re-designed introductory materials science and engineering(MSE) course that uses computational atomistic modeling for nearly every topic. Computation isbecoming ubiquitous in MSE, and it can help dramatically improve understanding of how macro-level behavior emerges from atomic behavior. Just three modeling techniques—moleculardynamics, Monte Carlo, and random walk—can be used to model most topics in an introductoryMSE course, and understanding conceptually how these techniques work is not very difficult.After providing background on computation in MSE and in education, we
