Course Description: A study of the physical, mechanical and chemical properties of engineering materials. Particular emphasis is placed on the interdependency of atomic structure, micro-structure, material phase relationships, and solid state reactions to each other and to the modification of these properties. The use of metals, plastics and advanced materials in economic, sustainable and reliable design is investigated. The laboratory includes metallographic examination using light microscopy and the study of material science principals and treatments of metals. II. Course Requirements: The Student is required to review daily assignments and lecture notes, and complete assigned reading, laboratory presentations and homework problems. Two hours of out of class study per class/laboratory hour should allow students to be adequately prepared for class and complete these requirements. Homework and Laboratory Presentations will follow a prescribed format and should be neat and organized...

...Journal Article Review Andrea Kennedy 9/24/15 SCE 4360 Practical Work in Science: Misunderstood and Badly Used. By: Johnathan Osbourne This article tackles the issue of practical work or experimental processes within the science teaching field. Specifically, Osborne questions the usefulness and degree to which it is used. Most science classes are taught in a lab and are only deemed valid if a hands on activity, lab, or experiment is used in teaching the lesson. In my opinion maybe this is because we need a measurable way to assess students' understanding and without a gradable lab report, this would be difficult. This leads to the main point in Osborne's article, that to understand and appreciate science we must also understand that science in itself is rooted in ideas, sometimes as Osborne states, "crazy" ideas. Osborne observes that most students when asked to name famous scientists, names such as Galileo, Einstein, Bohr, etc., are the main ones mentioned, all of which became famously known because they had a wild, crazy idea. He lists six "postulates" which have been determined to explain what students should learn in science classes. None of which include development of ideas, which he believes should be the basis for science teaching. His stand on practical work is that it is useful, but not in the way science teachers currently use it. Practical work has become the lesson in itself, rather than part of a larger lesson, and is being taught as a skill and method that should...

...Academic Laboratory Science Concern for Student Safety Prepared By: Nyaira L. Barrett (Nya) Prepared For: Mr. Bill Ebbesen Technical Reporting April 19, 2015 Executive Summary Purposes of the Report The purpose of this recommendation report is to identify the underlying causes of academic lab safety and give recommendations on how these safety issues can be resolved so that future accidents can be avoided. The topics discussed in this report will help to determine the appropriate course of actions that need to be taken to ensure that all students and staff whom conduct lab experiments do so with the upmost caution. There is a growing concern for the safety of both staff and students that does not seem to lower the risks that these people are being put in. The importance of proper training and education on lab safety can help to resolve future issues. Academic Lab Safety: Ensuring the Safety of Our Students This research conducted is to help improve the improper management of academic labs by providing safety education and encouraging the correct training on safety. If the requirements of lab safety training are being met, then staff and student safety can be reduce to a minimum. Without the proper safety practices during experiments in the lab, many more students and staff will continue to be hurt and the future of academic labs may cease to exist based on the lack of funding that may or may not be provided...

...One of the beautiful things about science is that it allows us to go along, getting it wrong time after time, and feel perfectly fine as long as we learn something each time. No doubt, this can be difficult for students who are accustomed to getting the answers right. No doubt, reasonable levels of confidence and emotional resilience help, but I think scientific education might do more to ease what is a very big transition: from learning what other people once discovered to making your own discoveries. Martin A. Schwartz Professor of Medicine, Microbiology, and Biomedical Engineering Yale University Chemistry can be challenging, especially when you are asked to act more like a scientist; developing your own experiments and drawing conclusions from the data you gather rather than following prescribed directions. You may not get the results you expected, and that is okay! This is how science works. General ways to be successful in the course can be found in the syllabus, and below are some details on what you can be doing before, during, and after lab to help you meet the course objectives and be successful in the course. PRIOR TO LAB Like any scientist, doing preliminary research is essential in developing methods for solving problems. We highly suggest you do some researching prior to planning, experimenting, and presenting, and have provided some resources that may help guide you in this process. * Prior to planning in lab, each student should read over the...

In this survey, students were asked how much time they spent on course-related activities such as reading the textbook, working on problems outside class, using online learning tools, and consulting with their instructor. We identified factors that influenced student study habits and how those factors affected students’ final course score. The findings show that students engaged in a wide range of study behaviours in terms of time spent and use of resources. Previous programming experience and lecture attendance were positive factors to final course score, and a tendency...

...Forensic Science is the application of science to the law. In recent years the use of forensic science has become increasingly necessary to help with criminal and civil investigations. Although forensic evidence is admissible in court one must keep in mind how that evidence made its way to the court system. I will take you through the process. For there to be admissible evidence for a court case there must be physical evidence which would have been collected at a crime scene therefore there must have been some kind of crime committed. A crime with physical evidence doesn’t necessarily mean something violent but it can be. Theft, arson, car accident and murder are just a few examples of what a crime can be. The process begins when the crime has been committed, to the officers arriving on the scene, to surveying the scene, collecting the evidence, submitting it to the lab, submitting it as evidence and finally the acceptance of the evidence. When a call is sent out regarding a possible crime and the first officer arrives on scene it is that officer’s obligation to do a few things as precise as possible: 1. seek medical attention for those who may need it, 2. arrest or detain any perpetrators, and 3. secure the crime scene. Securing the crime scene is extremely important because you want to be able to retrieve as much evidence as possible. By securing the crime scene you are blocking off the area from unauthorized personnel. You want to keep the foot traffic to...

...Week Seven Lab Discussion Each team member completed an oxidation-reduction lab during week six. The team members then shared their findings with each other for comparison and discussion. The purpose of this lab was to determine relative oxidizing and reducing strengths of a series of metals and corresponding ions. Oxidation and reduction reactions occur simultaneously. In oxidation, electrons are given, and in reduction, electrons are gained. An oxidizing agent is a chemical substance, which has a large tendency to gain electrons, while a reducing agent is an element, which loses electrons to another chemical species and is therefore oxidized. This lab used metals and provided substances to determine reactions. These results were recorded in a data table and the results were analyzed based on these observations. These results were used to help the team gain a better understanding of the reactions between the metals and the solutions. Discuss and Compare End-of-Lab Questions Data Table Results: Magnesium (Mg) in sodium sulfate (Na2SO4): three team members observed bubbling, two stated that they observed no reaction, and one observed only a slight reaction. Zinc (Zn) in magnesium sulfate (MgSO4): no team members observed a reaction. Lead (Pb) in zinc nitrate (Zn(NO3)2: five members did not observe a reaction, while one member noted and removed a layer of tarnish, and last member stated that it formed a clear coating on the lead.
