engineering, a comprehensive understanding of variousmaterials is essential for developmental projects. This understanding encompasses the origins,formations, physical attributes, mechanical properties, and decay behavior of materials, forminga fundamental knowledge base. Proficiency in the materials used in civil engineering is crucialfor tasks such as selection, processing, utilization, ongoing maintenance, and eventual recycling[2]. For aspiring civil engineers aiming to excel in their profession, a thorough understanding ofcivil engineering materials is imperative. Specialized courses like Civil Engineering Materials(CEM) play a pivotal role in imparting this knowledge. CEM course is designed to equipstudents with the skills needed to address

fatigue theory is very important to be developed in mechanical engineeringstudents. 1The fatigue strength or test data should be described by the random variables, that is, statisticalapproach. However, for undergraduate program, fatigue test data are typically described bydeveloping Stress (S) vs. average Cycles (N) to failure (S-N) curves. These curves are thefunctions of stress amplitude, mean stress and the average number of cycles at failure. Thefatigue strength of a component is significantly affected by inherent component defects andloading conditions. As such, the material strength design limit is reduced thru the application ofmodification factors, often linked with component stresses thru

In interviews students made connections to previous courses as well as previousactivities and experiences with the models. In addition to using the 3D models, participants alsoused more than one representation (e.g. symbolic or 2D diagram) to solve problems andcommunicate thinking.While the use of models and manipulatives is commonplace in mechanics instruction, this workseeks to provide more nuanced information about how students use these learning aids todevelop and reinforce their own understanding of key concepts.

This form of instructionrelies on asking questions during lecture and is one of the best ways to incite curiosity among thestudents. This curiosity compels the students to find the answer to the question posed. The natureof the questions can propel them into a state of inquisitiveness and hence provide the instructorthe right time and opportunity to present the course material. The CBI method of instructionthoroughly exploits this natural tendency with the goal of fostering committed and deeperlearning rather than surface learning.

For example, introductory graduate courses in fluid mechanics, heat transfer, ormechanical behavior of materials, require similar undergraduate courses as prerequisites.However, it is typical that many of the students entering mechanical engineering (ME) graduateprograms either have received their undergraduate degrees from various universities within theUnited States or from institutions in other countries.
