PREFACE

NEW:Update 97, hosted by Boeing Commcrcial Airplane Company in Seattle, Washington, on

November 2 - 5, 1997, marked our second workshop west of the Mississippi. Seattle took a

break from heavy rains and provided beautiful weather.

Wc built on past themes, activities, and prcscntations based on cxtcnsivc evaluations from

participants of previous workshops. This 12th annual NEW:Update continucd to thc work of

strengthening materials education. About 120 participants witnessed demonstrations of

experiments, discussed issues of materials science and engineering (MSE) with people from

education, industry, gcwernment, and technical societies; heard about new MSE developments;

and chose from nine, three-hour mini workshops in statc-of-thc-art Boeing production facilitics

and R&D laboratories to attend. Faculty in attcndancc reprcsented high schools, community

colleges, smaller colleges, and major universities. Undergraduate and graduate students also

attended and presented.

The generous fashion in which Alan Millcr and Brian Smith, and thc many scientist, cnginccrs,

and other staff of Boeing, provided funding, opened their facilities, developed presentations and

activities, and acted as all around gracious hosts insured the on-going quality of this important

educational series of workshops. With the very demanding production schcdulc Bocing faccs,

wc are indebted for their sacrifices in hosting this workshop.

NEW:Update 97 participants saw the demonstration of about forty cxpcrimcnts and aided in

evaluating them. We also heard updating information relating to materials science, engineering

and technology presented at mini plenary sessions that focused on technology from aircraft and

automotive technology, and materials research at Brookhavcn National Lab. Through thc

considerablc cfforts of Kris Kern at LANL, Raj Chaudhury of NSU, and Rogcr Marshall and

William Gerdts of Boeing, most of the workshop was broadcast over the lnternet.

The experimcnts in this publication can scrvc as a valuablc guide to faculty who arc intercstcd

in useful activities for their students. The material was the result of years of research aimed at

better methods of teaching rnaterials science, engineering and technology. The experiments

were developed by faculty, scientists, and engineers throughout the United States. There is a

blend of experiments on new materials and traditional matcrials. Uses of computers in MSE,

designing cxperiments, and a variety of low-cost experiments were among the demonstrations

presented.

Experiments underwent an extensive peer review process. After submission of abstracts,

selected authors werc notified of their acceptance and given the format for submission of

experiments. Experiments were reviewed by a panel of specialists through the cooperation of

the Materials Education Council. Most authors received comrqents from the panel prior to

NEW:Update 97, allowing them to make necessary adjustments prior to demonstrating their

experiments. Comments from workshop participants provided additional feedback which authors

used to make final revisions which wcrc submitted for thc NASA editorial group for this

publication.

ol,

I!!
The Materials Education Council of the United States publishes selected experiments in the

Journal of Materials Education (JME). The international JME offers valuable teaching and

curriculum aids including instructional modules on emerging materials technology, experiments,

book reviews, and editorials to materials educators. On a personal note, MEC honored Jim

Jacobs as "1996 Materials Educator of the Year" at the December MRS meeting in Boston.

This award must be shared with all the people who have contributed to the NEW:Update series,

our textbooks, and the many activities of our national materials education network.

Videotapes were made of the workshop by Boeing. Transparency masters for the mini plenary

sessions are included in this publication. As with previous NEW:Updates, critiques were made

of the workshop to provide continuing improvement of this activity. The evaluations and

recommendations made by participants provide valuable feedback for the planning of

subsequent NEW:Updates.

NEW:Update 97 and the series of workshops that go back to 1986 are, to our knowledge, the

only national workshops or gatherings for materials educators that have a focus on the full range

of issucs and stratcgies for better teaching about the entire complement of materials.

NEW:Update 97, with its diversity of faculty, industry, and government MSE participants, served

as a forum for both formal and informal issues facing MSE education that ranged from the

challenges of kccping faculty and students abreast of new technology to ideas to ensure that

materials scientists, engineers, and technicians maintain the proper respect for the environment

and human safety in the pursuit of their objectives.

We demonstrated the Experiments in Materials Science, Engineering& Technology. (EMSET') CDROM with all 213 experiments from the first decade of NEW:Updates. This CD ROM is

another example of cooperative efforts to support materials education. The primary

contributions came from the many authors of the demo and experiments for NEW:Updates.

Funding for the CD came from both private industry and federal agcncics. Please see thc

attached information for obtaining the CD set.

We express our appreciation to all those who helped tc kccp this series of workshops viable.

Special thanks goes to those on the planning committee, management team, hosts, sponsors, and

especially those of you have developed and shared your ideas for experiments, demonstrations,

and novel approaches to learning. All of us who participated in the workshop appreciated the

excellent coordination of activities by Diana LaClairc, Kirstcn Maasscn, and Ginger Freeman.

We hope that the experiments presented in this publication will assist you in teaching about

materials science, engineering and technology. We woul:l like to have your comments on their

value and means of improving them. Plcasc send ,:ommcnts to Jim Jacobs, School of

Technology, Norfolk State Univcrsity, Norfolk, Virginia 23504.
