AB  - Classical mechanics courses are taught to most engineering disciplinary undergraduate students. Due to the recent advancements of multiscale analysis and practice, necessary reforms need to be investigated and explored for classical mechanics courses to address the materials’ mechanics behaviors across multiple length scales. This enhanced understanding is needed for engineering students to consider materials more broadly. This paper presents a recent effort for the development of a multiscale materials and mechanics experimentation (M3E) module that can be potentially implemented in undergraduate mechanics courses, including Statics, Dynamics, Strength of Materials, and Design of Mechanical (Machine) Components. The developed education module introduces the concepts of multiscale materials behavior and microstructures in the form of micro and macro-scales. At the micro-scale, both 3D printed aluminum and cold-rolled aluminum samples were characterized using scanning electron microscope. Microstructures, including grains, grain boundaries, dislocation, precipitates, and micro-voids, were demonstrated to students. At the macro-scale, experiments following ASTM standards were conducted and full strain fields carried by all the samples were analyzed using digital image correlation method. The experimental data were organized and presented to the students in the developed M3E module. The implementation of the developed module in undergraduate mechanics classes allows students to not only visualize materials behavior under various load conditions, but also understand the reasons behind classical mechanics properties. To assess the effectiveness of the developed M3E education module, an evaluation question was developed. Students are required to classify key mechanics, materials, and processing concepts at both micro and macroscales. More than 40 fundamental concepts and keywords are included in the tests. The study outcomes and effectiveness of the M3E education module will be reported in this paper.
