Thecourse covered crystal structure, mechanical behavior of metals, phase diagrams, ceramicproperties, polymer properties, electrical/thermal/magnetic/optical properties. There was notmuch time spent on solid state materials and devices. However, with the fast progress of modernelectronics, it is essential that electrical engineering students be exposed to solid state materialsand devices. In the preface of their text book1, Murarka and Peckerar wrote “Electrical Engineersusually have little specialized knowledge of chemical reactions or solid state mechanics.

We introduced students to different strategies to alleviate this problem. Onesuch strategy was the replacement of synthetic materials with bio-sourced materials and, studentsmade two different bioplastics using milk and corn starch as main ingredients and, compared thefinal products against the “traditional plastics”. First, flowsheets were sketched, followed by“manufacturing” of the products and finally, testing the mechanical properties of the traditionalplastics and their bioplastic counterparts.

In addition,material science case studies from outside the Coast Guard will be examined to ensure thatgraduates have an appreciation for national and global material science challenges. Byexamining failures as well as successes, students will have an opportunity to consider theconsequences of poor decision-making and will be able to explore ethical considerations. Ascase studies are incorporated, tools are being developed to assess the impact of this educationalapproach on student learning and

In thislesson, students will bend and break various types of pasta noodles (spaghetti, lasagna,manicotti) to determine how the varying geometry of a fixed material type impacts whenand how the noodle breaks. Once students understand the role of geometry in structuralproperties, they will then investigate the role of material properties (e.g., ductile, brittle,modulus of elasticity) by keeping a fixed geometry and changing material type.
