4. What is the SS for ICMEd
Integrated computational materials education – computational materials tools in core undergraduate MSE curriculum.
But WHY??
Summer School for Integrated Computational Materials Education Berkeley, California, June 6-17, 2016

5. Computation in Mechanical Engineering, etc.
From the ANSYS website
Method
FEM is widely used in industry
Physics
Relatively simple
Geometry
Relatively simple (by design!)

10. Summer School History
Surveys (Thornton & Asta 2004; Thornton, Nola, Garcia, Asta, Olson 2009)
Gap in tools used in industry
Resources available, but not used
2010 TMS ICME Committee Discussion
Need for “Educating the Educators”
Not all universities have computational faculty
Not all universities can assign computational faculty in courses where implementations are possible
Fall 2010 NSF proposal and accelerated funding
Summer 2011 – 1st Summer School held July 18-29 ~
Summer 2015 – 4th Summer School, U. Michigan
Summer 2016 – 5th Summer School, UC Berkeley (now)

13. Your Role
Success could lead to rapid spread of CMSE tools in undergraduate/graduate MSE education
To ensure success, PLEASE BE OPEN AND SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS
Summer School for Integrated Computational Materials Education Berkeley, California, June 6-17, 2016

14. Your Role: At the Summer School
Attend all lectures and lab sessions
Ask questions! (Don’t wait!)
Give us feedback! (Don’t wait!)
See the feedback form
New this year: contribute your ideas for a new module problems!
Take advantage of networking events: lunches, poster session, “graduation” dinner
Summer School for Integrated Computational Materials Education Berkeley, California, June 6-17, 2016

15. Your Role: Surveys There will be three types of surveys.
General survey: overall assessments of the summer school experience; identify the opportunity for transfer
Pre-module surveys: Assess knowledge and background before the module
Post-module surveys: Assess the change of knowledge after the module; evaluate the effectiveness of the specific activities
Some questions are redundant, but we need the complete and accurate information for each survey. Thank you for your corporation!
Summer School for Integrated Computational Materials Education Berkeley, California, June 6-17, 2016

16. Your Role: When You Get Home...
You are the AMBASADOR of computational materials education!
You will “educate” your professor about the resources we are providing and your experience in carrying out the modules
Our team will assist in getting traction (making phone calls, etc.)
Summer School for Integrated Computational Materials Education Berkeley, California, June 6-17, 2016

17. Your Role: When You Get Home...
Implement the module into courses
Thermodynamics, kinetics, mechanical properties
Each module will take 1-2 lecture periods
Carry out surveys we design for undergrads in correct sequence/timing
Summer School for Integrated Computational Materials Education Berkeley, California, June 6-17, 2016

18. How SS for ICMEd Will Benefit You
Teaching experience in cutting edge topics
Overview of CMSE
Training in CMSE tools
Access to experts: Research Q&A
Excellent networking opportunities with renowned materials scientists
Excellent addition to CV & references
Summer School for Integrated Computational Materials Education Berkeley, California, June 6-17, 2016

Binder: Lecture notes, Module Materials, plus name tag, wireless access information, schedule, etc.
Module materials will be also available online (except for the solutions, which will be made available at the time of implementation)
Summer School for Integrated Computational Materials Education Berkeley, California, June 6-17, 2016

23. Modules Each module consists of Review of related concepts
Use during the class period
Walk-through
The problem set
Start during the class period, but students are expected to finish outside of the class and submit the answers
Expected to be graded
The solutions for the problem set
