past the middle of the semester, there wasnot enough time to accomplish all three tasks, and none of the submitted designs met the full setof design criteria. If the project had been introduced early in the semester as a required part ofthe curriculum, the students earning an A or B for the course would have submitted designswhich would have been more likely to meet the criteria.Freshman design projects are necessarily a gamble; students are asked to design a structure ormachine before taking any mechanical design courses, so the results are often strong in conceptbut weak in technical soundness. Clearly, juniors or seniors would have developed betterdesigns. However, by exposing freshmen to a design problem early in their academic careers

Often these names are considered to be synonymouswith sustainability; carefully thought out solutions to our current problems. However, each

at Birmingham (UAB) organized its first Materials Camp for high school students,based loosely on the model followed by ASM Education Foundation-supported camps. Selectedfrom nearly sixty applicants, twenty-four students from more than twenty area high schools tookpart, making it a wide-reaching outreach program. Throughout the 3.5 day non-residentialprogram, participants worked with department faculty and graduate students to explore the fieldof materials science and engineering (MSE), the possibilities available at this university, and theopportunities available for MSE graduates. Students also worked in teams to design and buildmodel rockets from high-tech composite materials, which were launched on the last day. Thelogistics of
