using a Materials ActivityAbstractOur research question focused on how previous student experience, like a job ‘internship’,affects an ability to demonstrate engineering design skills. Principal ‘student experience’focused on prior industrial experience (e.g. internships), but also included ‘annual project’participation (e.g. ASME Design Challenge Teams).The scope of this effort included the creation and application of a design activity, resulting indocuments that were evaluated with a metric. The activity focused on the effect of materialselection and analysis with regard to ‘design performance’. Creating these activities, and usingthem to assess design skills is the novel aspect of this effort. Two classes (one in MET-Mechanical Engineering

in manyengineering disciplines. In material science and engineering, it is a critical skill for understandingand modeling relationships between materials structure at the microscopic structural level andthe macroscopic property level. An important microstructural feature of materials is their crystalstructure, which plays an important role in determining some of a material's macroscopicproperties, such as yield and tensile strength. As such, it is quite useful to be able to visualizetwo-dimensional projections of atom locations on different planes for a given crystal structurefor which deformation mechanisms in metals can be described with simple sketches of planaratomic packing diagrams. However, this critical spatial visualization skill is

First, the teachers areinitially most excited to learn the mechanics of how to incorporate hands-on activities in theirclassrooms and may not take full advantage of the presentations and material provided to shoreup their background knowledge. Second, the measurement tool was ill-suited to its purpose.The Materials Concept inventory used was initially designed for College students in their first orsecond year of advanced science curriculum, and was intended to measure gains for studentsentering
