Materials Engineering Demonstrations  Materials Demonstrations possible title Cool Stuff Live demonstrations on properties of materials will be performed. The focus is on the atomic structure of the material and how the properties of the material change when the atomic structure is changed. The changes usually are made through the use of extremely hot or cold temperatures. Materials will be set on fire or cooled in liquid nitrogen. They will be broken, shattered, or made stronger. Examples from real-world events such as the Challenger and Columbia Shuttles and the Titanic will be explained.
