Undercooled: A Materials Education Podcast

Tim and Steve talk with Izzy Jaszczak about Michigan Technological University's metal casting course and the major changes the teaching staff has made to increase the course capacity to 60 students.  This was a course that she had taken as an undergraduate.  Working with Dr. Paul Sanders, Dr. Dale Dewald, and Peter Jaszczak, she updated the lab curriculum to give students more individual hands-on time with equipment.  Izzy also talks about the research half of her role helping students, staff, and faculty collect data using scanning electron microscopes.

Here is a link to a Google Slide deck about the changes (PDF is also attached):
