AB  - In the Spring of 2022, the South Dakota Mines Department of Materials and Metallurgical Engineering faculty modified their junior-level Principles of Metallurgical Design course to utilize local Black Hills minerals to formulate and produce a clay-based ceramic body. The final body functionality was left to the student teams to help create an open end to the design process. The course provided a unique learning environment for students and faculty. The students learned the iterative design process through this project-based learning approach as well as the unique challenges that the use of local minerals present. It was found that the use of clay-based ceramics in design lends itself well to the teambuilding process. In addition, the faculty learned the importance of targeted messaging within a STEAM framework to enhance student project acceptance and creativity.

For the Spring of 2023 (second year), the faculty team will focus on leveraging their initial pedagogical experience by executing a very similar design project as the previous year. Additional emphasis will be focused on product development, and the ability for the teams to design an economically-viable product that could be mass produced. The faculty team will assess student creativity, confidence, entrepreneurial mindset, and technical knowledge at the beginning and the end of the semester.

Concurrent with the curricular modification the faculty team has begun expanding the program through new undergraduate course development (MET 300), and focused community STEAM activities that engage pre-Kindergarten to retirement age participants.
