wouldalso be helpful to administer the survey to a similar group of students who did not receive theintervention. Based on the lack of literature about the growth mindset in engineering curricula,this area of study has much potential.Appendix A: MINDSET SURVEYAttitudes about difficult classes and learning1.

graduated and gone to work – at a plastic formingcompany wanted to build a thermoforming machine and conduct material experiments onthermoformed specimens. His co-op experience clearly gave rise to interest in this project.A plan solidified with first-semester (spring) objectives for the four students to: 1. Design/build a 3D printer and thermoforming machine that could produce specimens for material testing a. Three students responsible for the 3D printer b. One student responsible for the thermoforming machine 2. Design an experimentation procedure for 3D printed and thermoformed materials 3. Produce a variety of specimens that could be tested, primarily in tensionThe option remained for a second semester (summer

to demonstrate the behavior of shape memory alloys. A nitinol asshown in Figure 1(b), an alloy of Ni and Ti, is used in the lab since it is the most well knownshape memory alloy that was developed by the U.S. Naval Ordance Laboratory. (a) (b) Figure 1. Photographs of (a) PZT specimens and (b) a nitinol wireThe first two experiments, including measurement of electric displacement vs. electric field loopof PZTs and determination of electromechanical behavior of PZTs through compressive tests, aredesigned to cover the fundamental concepts that emphasize on piezoelectric and mechanicalproperties. Figure 2 shows the needed equipment for the first experiment

group has an especially high confidencein their understanding of class topics.Table 14 shows a breakdown of final grades in the course. The highest concentration of gradesfor distance students was at the ‘C’ grade, with over 10% of distance students in the D/F/Wcategory. In contrast, no on-campus students finished in the D/F/W range and over 80% finishedin the ‘A’ or ‘B’ ranges. With the exception of the semester project, the average grade forcampus students was higher in each of the grading categories than for distance students(homework, exams, final exam). The difference was smallest on the final exam (72.9% vs.72.5%) and largest in the homework category (108.1% vs. 91.4%). The greater than 100%average on homework for campus students reflects

test matrix in evaluating spatial visualizationability of students in mixed reality environment. The work will them involve the implementation of the Holo-MSE app in introductorymaterial science course to teach the selected concepts. Students will be asked to utilize theapp, interact with holograms and take built-in quizzes for each module (Crystal structures andMiller indices). Their performance will be compared with the historical student performancedata for the two concepts as well as with a control group where the mode of instruction willbe intentionally kept traditional, i.e. reliance on 2D drawings and video animations.5.
