engineering department at UNM introduced a new course in thespring of 2019 titled “An introduction to modern Mechanical Engineering, ME150” to increase theretention of engineering students. The objective of this course is to introduce engineering freshmanstudents to the various applications of the mechanical engineering profession. By the time studentscomplete this course, they should be able to: ➢ describe mechanical engineering fields and related activities such as Energy, Engineering Materials, Biomedical Engineering, Mechatronics, Computational design, 3D Printing, Propulsion and Engine Systems, and Advanced tribology ➢ understand some of the subfields of mechanical engineering (HVAC, thermal fluids; solid mechanics

properties of NiTi alloys serve as fun demonstrationsor “party tricks” to amuse the young and old. Often times people will claim that the materials are“magic,” but in reality, these materials demonstrate fascinating processing-structure-propertiesrelationships for materials science and engineering students!A laboratory has been developed to thoroughly understand the mechanisms and the origins forthe properties. Students examine and characterize the shape memory and superelastic propertiesof NiTi wire, and then realize the difference is in the transformation temperature (i.e., Af - theaustenitic finish temperature). They then use the phase diagram and TTT diagram to developappropriate annealing treatments to change “as-received” samples from

Given the constraints on time, team size, and materials, this design challenge fosterscreativity and provides multiple opportunities to discuss aspects of systems engineering [3]. Byapplying design process knowledge, students engage in a learn-by-doing approach to emphasizea mindful application of design and building practices at the very start of their studies. Thelearning goals and objectives align with our introductory mechanical engineering course: ▪ Generate

crystal structures. Transformation between theaustenite (B2) and martensite (B19') phases can be produced by temperature cycling between thehigh temperature austenite phase and the low temperature martensite phase (shape memoryeffect), or loading the material to favor the high strain martensite phase or unloading to favor thelow strain austenite phase (superelasticity). Thus, as is shown by Figure 1, both temperature andstress influence the transformation between the austenite and martensite phases.The martensitic transformation is a diffusionless phase transformation in which atoms movecooperatively by a shear-like mechanism. The behavior is well understood by thephenomenological theory of martensites where transformation consists of three
