Theproject aims to teach students scaffolds' design and operation techniques and other creativemodels with various 3D printing platforms. The primary goal is to find the impact andeffectiveness of 3D printing on student interest, motivation, and engagement. The evaluation willbe carried out through pre- and post-surveys from the students.Elective Course: Introducing 3D PrintingPolymer Science and Engineering is a new elective course offered in Chemical Engineering.

Students seemed more concernedabout their ability to learn the material (48% of responses) than the instructor’s ability to teachthe material (36% of responses). The instructional limitations or lack of instructional support(22% of responses) and time management (12% of responses) were among the major concerns inthe sub-categories.The results from two-item scale indicated participants' s confidence in their ability to

Teams who did not escape during laboratory period one were given the option to complete the unfinished module, at the end of the first laboratory period, during the time between laboratory period one and laboratory period two. The instructor team used Microsoft Teams to communicate with groups during the exercise, which expedited communications. In addition, we used one instructor and one staff member during the exercise to minimize time that groups waited for assistance. The need for an instructor team is discussed in more detail below.5.

COIL activities can range from 3 weeks to an entire semester of combined teaching. Aspects to consider include time zone differences, languages, the number of participating students, and the students’ level (e.g., senior vs. sophomore) of the engineering courses at both institutions. Instructors should also discuss previous experiential learning opportunities for students of different backgrounds. Some students may not know about co-ops, teaching laboratories, internships, or volunteering/service opportunities, which promote multicultural learning

deformation can be an obstacle to structural mechanicseducation and learning. Teaching structural mechanics is traditionally delivered by a primarylecture component usually complemented by structural laboratory demonstrations. While thelecture component covers the theoretical concepts and derivations, the laboratory demonstrationsare known to improve the students’ understanding of the concepts through observation andexperimentation. Students often work with line drawings of members with idealized loadings andboundary conditions, but struggle to understand the dimensional reduction of load path (i.e. 3Dcombined loading reduced to member force effects) within a multi-story building systems [1, 2].Other shortcomings in traditional modes of teaching
