Introduction to Materials Science and Engineering: A Guided Inquiry with Mastering Engineering with Pearson eText -- Access Card Package / Edition 1

by Elliot Douglas

Overview

For students taking the Materials Science course . This book is also suitable for professionals seeking a guided inquiry approach to materials science.

This unique book is designed to serve as an active learning tool that uses carefully selected information and guided inquiry questions. Guided inquiry helps readers reach true understanding of concepts as they develop greater ownership over the material presented. First, background information or data is presented. Then, concept invention questions lead the students to construct their own understanding of the fundamental concepts represented. Finally, application questions provide the reader with practice in solving problems using the concepts that they have derived from their own valid conclusions.

Elliot P. Douglas is Associate Professor, Dean’s Fellow for Engineering Education, and Distinguished Teaching Scholar in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Florida. His research activities are in the areas of active learning, problem solving, critical thinking, and use of qualitative methodologies in engineering
education. Specifically, he has published and presented work on the use of guided inquiry as an active learning technique for engineering; how critical thinking is used in practice by students; and how different epistemological stances are enacted in engineering education research. He has been involved in faculty development activities since 1998, through the ExCEEd Teaching Workshops of the American Society of Civil Engineers, the Essential Teaching Seminars of the American Society of Mechanical
Engineers, and the US National Science Foundation-sponsored SUCCEED Coalition. He has received several awards for his work, including the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers, the Ralph Teetor Education Award from the Society of Automotive Engineers, being named the University of Florida Teacher of the Year for 2003-04 and the ASEE Southeastern Section Outstanding Teaching Award for 2013. He is a member of the American Society for Engineering Education and the American Educational Research Association and is currently Associate Editor for the Journal of Engineering Education.
