NAMES 2024 Workshop Day, August 9
Free ABET Workshop: 9 - 10am on Friday August 9th in 1670 Beyster
Need Help with ABET? Especially outcomes assessment strategies?
ABET Workshop: Building a sustainable outcomes assessment process (with a disaggregation button):
Steve Yalisove will give his views on how to deal with ABET with the least amount of pain - and even actually help your program improve. While he is no longer affiliated with ABET or the TMS accreditation committee, he has written 4 self studies that have all resulted in NGR (that is ABET speak for a pass). He will go over how our College of Engineering created an online Outcomes Assessment process with Tableau data visualization six years ago. This system includes a "disaggregation" button and analysis tools that helped us succeed in our recent ABET visit. He is also willing to spend time answering questions.
Paid Workshops - $20.00 each - Includes coffee breaks and lunch.
The two workshops below will be held concurrently. Please only choose 1 on the registration page.
Workshop 1: Edupack and Schrödinger in 1620 Beyster
A. Materials Science and Engineering in Ansys Granta EduPack (10:30 - 12:30)
Many think of Ansys Granta EduPack as a pure materials selection and eco design tool, but it is so much more than that! In this workshop, we will share how core materials science topics, such as property-processing relationships, can be taught using Granta EduPack. Details on the Materials Science & Engineering Database, as well as the new Additive Manufacturing module, and how they can be used alongside textbooks such as Materials Science and Engineering: An Introduction, by William Callister, will be covered.
B. Schrödinger (1:30-3:30)
The Schrödinger Materials Science platform is a single interface with access to structure building, simulation, and analysis for atomic-scale simulation. With respect to simulation, the platform has extensive capabilities in molecular and periodic quantum mechanics (namely density functional theory calculations), molecular dynamics, and machine learning. This workshop will guide participants to work hands-on with the Schrödinger Materials Science platform. We will instruct attendees through parts of two of our online courses which are best-suited for the NAMES audience: Polymeric Materials and Battery Materials.
Workshop 2: Structural Simulation: Engaging Students with Ansys (9am to 3:00 pm) in 2331 EECS building
Materials selection, structural analysis and optimization as well as additive manufacturing are not easy to connect in teaching, especially when aiming to address conflicting objectives such as sustainability vs performance. In this workshop, we will introduce engaging Ansys tools which can help engineering educators by reducing traditional learning barriers of simulation and design tools. Participants will go through live demonstrations and hands-on exercises to appreciate integration of theoretical teaching with the visualization of physical phenomena in structural mechanics applications.
