Folks,

My class at Dartmouth, Materials: The Substance of Civilization has attracted almost 200 students or about 19% of the class of 2007. The 2007 students have to spend this summer on campus.

It is a lot of fun to teach. I have many demonstrations and even a few movie clips to show applications (or misapplications) of materials.

Cheers,

Dr. Ron
