Early human advancement was tied tothe ability of humans to understand the materials tetrahedron and apply it to find new materialshaving desirable properties for some application.Despite this call from NSF, and the aligned history of human civilization and materials, there arefew university MSE departments3 that offer students coursework that combine societal aspectsand engineering concepts in a laboratory setting. Engineering is a professional practice thatexists to solve societal problems, and having an understanding of how materials sciences iswoven into technological advancements to solve human problems is essential to development ofa well- rounded engineer, and aligned to the ABET Criteria, especially

new technologies such as finiteelement modeling in a freshman level project-based course not only provides a powerfulvisualization tool for mechanical concepts that are new to the freshman level students but alsoincreases the students’ interest in engineering. In addition, the integrated approach developed inthis project helps students understand how to interface computational and experimentalapproaches to solve an engineering problem and allows them to evaluate the significance of eachcomponent in engineering analysis, design and research. The exposure of students to finiteelement modeling at an early stage in their undergraduate education is expected to broaden theirunderstanding of engineering and improve their preparedness for engineering

technology has not advanced as rapidly as processor power consumption, and this limits the mean time between recharges. • The more obvious approaches to constraining power consumption, such as disk spindown and turning off the screen have already been implemented. More complex approaches are now being pursued for additional savings. • The aggregate power consumption of computers is no longer a negligible fraction of the total power consumption in the United States4. Approaches to reduce such power consumption can therefore be expected to make a measurable impact on the overall power consumed in the country.There has been very little done in electrical engineering curricula to develop students’ skills andabilities to
