Submit Modules

MatEd solicits modules for posting on its website in the areas of materials technology, engineering and science. Appropriate modules include labs, demonstration, in-class discussions or activities and related exercises.

If the module is intended for classroom use, authors are requested to include the following sections in their submission:
