 Curricular Innovation in Engineering Education:
Examples from the Science Core and from the Bachelor’s Degree Program in Materials Science

Donald R. Sadoway
John F. Elliott Professor of Materials Chemistry
Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts, U.S.A.

 The field of materials science and engineering (MSE), just like all engineering disciplines, continues to grow while the time to earn a bachelor’s degree remains fixed. Only by implementing major changes both in content and in format of undergraduate degree programs in MSE can we expect to meet the expanding educational needs of our students. This talk will describe major efforts in two arenas: (1) the science core taken by all engineering students prior to choosing a major and (2) the undergraduate degree program in materials science. By integrating subject matter from beyond the instant technical specialization and by reinforcing theory through presentation of applications students are provided eagerly sought after context and are thus engaged to improve their mastery of the material. The speaker will refer to his direct experience at MIT where he teaches an engineering alternative to the classical general chemistry class offered by a Chemistry Department. In addition, he will report on the initial reaction of students to the new undergraduate course of study in materials science which was launched this academic year.
