One of the primary goals of our materials education “MatEdU” site is to provide educators with ready-to-use educational materials, or more specifically course curriculum in the form of modules that can be downloaded as PDFs or PowerPoint slides or occasionally other document formats. In the last month, nine new modules were added and they focus on topics that are in high demand.
When you click the links below, your browser will likely download the file automatically and not open a specific web page. However, you can also go and search within the MatEdU Modules section for these titles to read a bit more about them (search for the title or author to quickly get the module you want). The new modules cover composites, solar cells, Lithium, 3D printing, design, and materials (in general).
