Kisung Kang is a Ph.D. Candidate, Mavis Future Faculty Fellow, and the computational teaching assistant in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He obtained his bachelor's degree from Yonsei University in Seoul, Republic of Korea. His research in the Schleife group and the Cahill group focuses on studying the properties of metallic antiferromagnetic materials through the first-principles study within Illinois Materials Research Science and Engineering Center.

We incorporated and improved computational modules across the undergraduate curriculum for several years, hence, students have experience with computational skills in molecular dynamics, density functional theory, and thermodynamics. In Fall of 2019, visualization components were added to our MSE182 freshman course, to assist in understanding materials’ three-dimensional structures early in the curriculum. As the use of materials databases has surged, in Fall of 2020 we also integrated the current module with a materials database to make students more comfortable with it. Students are supposed to find materials in the database and download corresponding crystallographic files, which are then interfaced with the visualization program, to analyze their structure and symmetry. Students are also asked to compare the visualization result with experimental results. To evaluate the outcome of these modifications, a detailed survey was executed, and the answers about utilization and satisfaction were collected. The majority of students felt comfortable to use the materials database and are interested in using it in future courses. Student responses will be used to improve the current implementation of the module.
