Ryan Wicker University of Texas, El Paso
RYAN WICKER, Ph.D., P.E., is a professor of mechanical engineering and director and founder of the W.M. Keck Center for 3D Innovation at the University of Texas, El Paso, where he also holds the endowed Mr. and Mrs. MacIntosh Murchison Chair I in Engineering. The Keck Center represents a world-class research facility that focuses on the use and development of additive manufacturing technologies for fabricating 3D objects that are plastic, metal, ceramic, of bio-compatible materials, composite materials, or that contain electronics. Major research efforts are underway at the Keck Center in the areas of additive manufacturing technology development; closed-loop process control strategies for additive manufacturing; additive manufacturing of various powder metal alloy systems; and 3D structural electronics in which electronics, and thus intelligence, are fabricated within additive manufacturing-fabricated mechanical structures.

Abstract
Development of 3D-Virtual Facility Tutorial Implemented in Mobile Environment to Enhance Additive Manufacturing EducationTo date, improving manufacturing engineering education has become a major mission foruniversities, particularly when manufacturing industry is currently recovering in US. There is aneed to develop tutorial software implemented in mobile device to allow students to get access ofinstructional material in 24/7 and enhance student learning in manufacturing engineering coursesthat will give future workforce engineers the skills that manufacturing companies are searchingfor. This paper discusses software preparation and development to support undergraduate andgraduate Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) learning environmentsthrough Cyber Based Rapid Manufacturing (CBRM) – preparing students for the needs of industryand promoting advanced manufacturing technologies in higher education. The software currentlyaims to be used in a mobile device like Microsoft Surface and Microsoft Window phone. It is alsoanticipated to be implemented in Android environment eventually. Software features are similarto 3D virtual Rapid Prototyping (RP) simulator based on “U Print” and include RP devicefundamental, virtual calibration, virtual manufacturing and virtual testing. This paper also aims atsupporting the development of the multidisciplinary educational activities.
