Thisactive laboratory exercise is part of a sophomore-level materials science course that is designedinto the mechanical engineering curriculum at Union College. The course also partially fulfills awriting requirement that all Union students must fulfill before graduation. The emphasis onmechanical properties makes relevant the understanding of materials science to the processingand design issues in mechanical engineering.BackgroundThe materials science course at Union College is taken by all mechanical engineering majorsduring their sophomore year.

Thermody-namics has a great deal to do with the transfer, storage, and conversion of energy in quasi-equilibrium processes, but it has little to do with dynamics of particles and rigid bodies from themechanics point of view.III.

The HPL teaching framework presents the learning material as a series ofchallenges that are posed through a “Legacy Cycle.” Three VANTH modules, covering sevenchallenges, were tested in an undergraduate Mechanical Engineering course in Fall 2003. Theclass (N=32) was divided into two groups, control and trial, based on a random assignment.The control group performed the challenge in a traditional way (pencil and paper) while thetrial group solved the challenge using the VaNTH material located at a website. For eachgroup, a pre-test, post-test, and affect ranking were administered. The students were alsosurveyed on the learning effectiveness of the various components of each

Subsequently the time to be allotted to each topic and the number and types of testsare decided. This approach is simple for the instructor. However, it does not address the big pictureof how the course contents fit into the program students are enrolled in, and what students shouldlearn so they are better prepared for the following courses and career paths.
