The contest has also provided avenue for non-engineering students from the liberal arts college to participate in and contribute toan upper level engineering course (for academic credit).

Not only does it require students tointegrate knowledge and experience from different courses to understand real-world problems,but it also demands the use of multiple characterization technologies to comprehend a material.Specifically, conversation with chat GPT is allowed and encouraged in this stage of the lab.The materials science lab is materials-based, and the materials of faculty research are chosenfor lab modification.
