B. New Course Development/Improvement - ME401 (Advanced Mechanics of Materials) flyer and e-mail course advertisement. Helped

with Form B for class initiation. This course was officially discarded by the UNM Registrar’s Office as of the Fall of 2000 because ME Department did not teach it in many years before that. I have launched an effort, including forms mentioned, to bring it back so that it would appear in the 2001-2003 UNM Catalog. This class is now a very popular technical elective in our department. Original notes preparation. Class notes deposited by the end of each week at the CSEL on reserve. Class website was weekly updated with pertinent information for the student benefit and interaction.

- In Summer 2001, I taught for the first time a graduate level “crystal plasticity” class as a Problems course (ME551). I am hoping such an offering would at some point be a prelude for a permanent offering of this class which would highly depend on our graduate student

6

enrollment in the Solid Mechanics/Materials Science Thrust Area which currently has the smallest number of faculty members amongst the three thrust areas in the department.

- Was first to propose, in Fall 2001, to the ME Department’s Undergraduate Committee that a finite-element class (FEM) be introduced into our curriculum for juniors. This suggestion was approved later on by the committee and now our curriculum has ME360 (Mechanical Engineering Design III) as a permanent course in our curriculum that teaches the finite-element method for juniors as part of a sequence of five design courses. Was the first to teach ME360 in Spring 2004.

- In Fall 2007, I taught for the first time a graduate level “Fracture Mechanics” class as a Special Topics course (ME561). I am hoping such an offering would at some point be a prelude for a permanent offering of this class which would highly depend, in part, on the ME department’s graduate student enrollment in the Solid Mechanics/Materials Science Thrust Area.

C. Lab Development Activities

I have worked on upgrading and improving the status of two labs (Materials Testing Lab, Room ME115, and Metallurgy/Heat Treatment/Specimen Preparation Lab, Rooms 101 &103) currently used in conjunction with ME370 Engineering Materials Science and possibly with ME318 in the future. a) I have worked, with student and staff assistance, on ensuring that only operational equipment remains in Room ME115. This room houses the mechanical testing equipment in the department. One of the achievements here is the upgrade of the INSTRON tensile testing machine by equipping it with a new controller, interface, and computer/software-driven operation. The upgrade was done by an INSTRON technician with direct supervision by me. This upgrade was paid for by ME Chairman’s, Marc Ingber, account. b) I have worked, again with student and staff help, on arranging Rooms 101 and 103 used for metallurgy/heat treatment/specimen preparation. We were able to ensure that only operational equipment remained in the rooms and replaced antiquated/non-operational ones with new equipment (a diamond cutting-wheel and two stand-alone stations for grinding/polishing of metallurgical specimens) paid for by ME Chairman’s, Marc Ingber, account. The labs were rearranged and re-configured to effectively utilize space and enhance user safety.

In addition, I have worked (at least since Spring 2004), with directions from Chairman Marc Ingber and Chairman Juan Heinrich, and with help from staff members/students, on the establishment of a new laboratory dedicated for ME260 (Mechanical Engineering Design II) which is housed in Room ME102. This also parallels work I have done on increasing operational capacity in the original, and still existing, ME260 lab space in Room ME154 (also known as the “student machine shop”). The operational capacity was increased by the purchase of two new milling machines for the student machine shop to handle more students, at any given time, in this lab.

In 2009, I have also purchased and installed several parts, replacement and new, for the Rockwell indenter, the Brinell Hardness tester, and the Vickers Microhardness tester in Room 103.

In 2007, I have also purchased safety equipment for these labs as well as basic tools needed for measuring dimensions, mechanical fastening, and temperature measurements (Room 101).

I have also purchased, with student lab fees, a digital camera with a computer system for image acquisition and analysis for the optical microscope in Room 103. Before that, this Buehler

7

optical microscope relied on an outdated Polaroid camera to collect images. We now have a state-of-the-art setup for digital image acquisition and analysis which can be relayed to students digitally and even over the Internet.

I have also purchased (Fall 2009), with student lab fees, a new microscope with a new digital camera for image acquisition and analysis on a computer system in Room 103. With this purchase, we got a reducing lens (0.6X) free of charge from Buehler corporation (worth close to $1,000) to use in conjunction with the new camera. With the new reducing lens and microscope, we are now able to see a field of view bigger than that seen through the microscope binoculars. In the past, the digital images from the cameras were zoomed in on a tiny region only of the field of view seen through the binoculars.

I have also worked (since Fall 2006 and through Summer 2010) on creating a lab manual and more modules with write-ups for the ME 352/370 Engineering Materials Science laboratory. This resulted in a textbook on material science and engineering experiments.

Under the support of Chairman Juan Heinrich, I have worked since Fall 2005 on upgrading the MTS tensile/compression machine (Room 115) by equipping it with hydraulic grips and a new software/computer for running it. Once complete, this system will enable fatigue studies for the first time in our department. It will also enable high strain-rate experiments for the first time. Both of these types of experiments are corner stones in solid mechanics and materials research and education. So far only the grips were installed and not any new controller with software.

In Spring 2010, purchased with student fees a rapid prototyper for ME260. Since its purchase, this machine has been heavily used for: ME260, ME460, and other courses (e.g. ME451/452).

Also, in Spring 2010, we’ve purchased with student fees more sets of calipers/micrometers/rulers for use in the very first measurements/statistics laboratory in ME352. Now, the crowdedness on lab day has been alleviated with more/all groups being able to do the measurements at the same time.

Fall 2010, a new camera for the old microhardness tester was purchased. Also, a new camera for the old microscope was purchased. Also, software upgrade (image capture and analysis) for the two microscopes and microhardness tester was made.

Also, during 2010, worked with Stoney Haver (the ME Department Technician) on repairing of several pieces of equipment in the ME370 labs: several furnaces and polishers/grinders. These are now in operational conditions with savings in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.

During Fall 2010 wrote an equipment/software proposal to the UNM Teaching Allocation Subcommittee (TAS) for a Teaching Allocation Grant (TAG) worth $4,985.00 for a 3-D laser scanning equipment with software for use in ME design courses. The proposal was funded in Spring 2011. The equipment/software were acquired in late Summer 2011. D1. Undergraduate Student Supervision 1.
