At the end of the course, there is a short chapter aboutthe state of stress caused by the combined loading [1]. At the beginning of MECH3000-Design ofMachine Elements, the general state of stress caused by the combined loadings must be reviewedin detail, because a prerequisite for using the failure theory is to determine the state of stress ofthe point [2]. Thru our assessment process, we found that there was a common issue that studentshad some difficulty in effectively calculating the general state of stress of components withmultiple

CMSE includes the use of commercial software packages as well asdeveloping computer code that simulates materials phenomena. Specifically, simulations can beused to predict phase stability, microstructural evolution, or materials properties. Furthermore,multiple simulations can be linked through multiscale materials modeling so that physicalproperties can be related to microstructural and atomistic simulations [1]. For instance, Pratt andWhitney, a manufacturer of jet engine turbine rotors, combined solid mechanics codes withmaterial property models to improve the materials and design of their rotors [2
