Class Information :
The Aerospace and Engineering Chemistry course involves the study of solid matter. Five major units of study form the basis of the MST course: solids, metals, ceramics/glass, polymers, and composites. Each unit will include a study of the properties and basic chemistry of that particular group of materials. Testing methods and manufacturing processes will also be investigated. A multi-instructional approach is used that appeals to many learning styles. This approach focuses on solving problems, creating student projects, working in small groups on open-ended experiments, writing as a means of learning, participating in demonstrations and activities, using experts in materials, and using a large variety of written resources. The students will experience many activities that require critical thinking and problem solving skills. The classroom and laboratory activities are designed to be relevant to the student’s lives. They relate to important topics in society, the workplace, and the home. This lab-oriented, hands-on class will use a record-keeping method that I refer to as “journaling”. The students will use a journal (notebook) to keep a daily record of class events. Class events will include: activities, demonstrations, note-taking, extended labs, article summaries, reflections, etc.
