Special Topics: Fundamentals of Materials Technology for Teachers
3 quarter credits / 2 semester credits
Course Description
This one-week intensive course is designed to provide the experience needed for teachers to teach the fundamentals of materials science and technology in the high school. It consists of background information plus a variety of hands-on laboratory exercises that can be carried out in a high school setting. The subject matter is such that these topics can be used in a physical science class or as a separate materials technology class. Following the one-week course, teachers are required to utilize at least one module in their classroom, evaluate its effectiveness, and present a report to the principal instructor.
Course Objectives
Following this course, teachers will be able to:
-
Introduce the topic of materials technology into their school curriculum
-
Provide their students with a series of motivating, hands-on laboratory experiences
-
Demonstrate the properties of metals, ceramics, polymers and composites and how these properties are determined by structure and processing
