title = "The role of coaching in facilitating computational materials science and engineering education",
abstract = "The introduction of computational tools to the undergraduate curriculum is a daunting task. A new coaching model has been implemented in a junior-level materials science and engineering course that integrates computational tools within the framework of traditional capstone design. This model utilizes graduate students as coaches to serve as a technical resource and role model for the undergraduate design teams, Producing learning experiences that are at a high technical level. Results show that successful coaching provides greater individualized attention for the undergraduate design teams and professional development opportunities for the graduate student coaches.",
