Could your topic benefit the College? $($For example: building materials such as asphalt or concrete for new structures,

material for whiteboards$).$ Could your topic tum into a summer internship? $($For example: material for solar cells, material for wind turbine blades, etc.$)$

$2.$ Components of your report. Use the sub$-$bullets as loose guidelines for the minimum requirements.

$$ Title

Abstract

Outline

v Problem definition

a$.$ Describe your topic here

v Introduction$/$Background

a$.$ This should be a literature search, where you discuss what materials are typically used for your application in the present, what materials were used in the past, and what are the $"$up and coming" materials of the future.

b$.$ Include references

$2.$Material design selection

a$.$ What are the criteria for the properties? For example, for a tire: friction, durability, toxicity, Young's modulus, coefficient of thermal expansion, etc. What values are acceptable? Desirable? You should use CES materials selector software to assist you.

b$.$ Include several applicable graphs and charts to show how you selected your chosen material$($s$).$c$.$ You may come up with more than one material. ${?}_2$ Sustainability of the material

a$.$ Explain how your chosen material$($s$)$ is sustainable. If not, explain why sustainability was outweighed by other criteria.

${?}_2$ Conclusion$/$Discussion

a$.$ Discuss tradeoffs of the various possible materials.

b$.$ Explain why your chosen material is best.

c$.$ What next? How does your idea get carried forward? How could you implement it$?$ Pass off the knowledge to someone else? Would your research benefit the community? The college?
