All the testingtime for the students was outside the class time. To ensure that the students get the most of out oftheir hands-on experience, the experimental protocol was vetted thoroughly. The civil engineeringtechnician also assisted the students in testing. For each of the materials, the objectives was thefollowing:1) Determine whether the material is linear viscoelastic?2) Determine if time-temperature superposition is applicable?3) Develop a rheological model, and4) Explain impact of the above results in practical applications.The scope and depth of testing was discussed with

The course contains very little formal instruction and most ofthe student-faculty interaction is one-on-one. There are 6 hours each week of dedicated “designstudio time” during which the students work with the instructor, graduate teaching assistants andtechnical consultants. The students are encouraged to try to exploit the technical skills developedin their previous courses as they develop concepts and work to demonstrate the technicalfeasibility of their ideas.
