Hello,
	We are currently in the process of restructuring our Undergraduate curriculum
in the department of Materials Science and Engineering here at Iowa State. If
you have any ideas/grievances about what topics should be emphasized at the
undergraduate level we would like to hear your suggestions. I am particularly
interested in ideas for our "capstone" senior design project in Ceramic
Engineering as I will be taking it next semester. We are looking to make it an
integrated conceptualization - design - processing - analysis - redesign
iterative loop with an emphasis on applications and not solely basic science. We
are extremely interested in getting feedback from industry as well as ideas for
projects from industry. The course has not yet been designed so all our options
are open and all ideas will be reviewed. So... If you have always complained
about your senior design project or feel that your project was the greatest
thing you ever did, we want to know what it was! The projects should be large
enough for 2 to 4 people. Your ideas need not be fully thought out, in fact,
please take the time right now to reply with any of the ideas/thoughts that just
popped into your head. All replies will be greatly appreciated. Thank You.
