Learn Materials
Introduce your students to Materials
Materials are used by engineers and designers every day to create products for the world to use. Because of this, Materials Science and Engineering is highly interdisciplinary and relevant, yet few entering STEM fields are aware of it.
Learn Materials has been designed to support educators introducing the field of Materials to their students for the first time, whether that be in high school, freshman engineering courses, or STEM outreach programs. By providing this free, open online resource, we hope to help more students discover the world of materials science and encourage them to get involved in this great field.
To learn more about this software, feel free to read our ASEE 2019 conference paper on the subject here. (insert hyperlink: https://peer.asee.org/33047)
