The project is anopen-ended problem with multiple solution options. Students have scaffold-ed experiences withinthe course to guide them towards several possible techniques. Students follow a fullproblem-solving structure through defining their problem, exploring options, planning a method,implementing said method, and then reflecting upon the success of their design.IntroductionThe first of the seven ABET outcomes is stated as “an ability to identify, formulate, and

Thisreflection better enables them to compare and contrast new material and even make connectionswith future course and industry solutions.

This has at least four benefits: 1)PSTs will know what is possibly wrong when a printer or printing process fails, 2) PSTs will learnmore manufacturing processes besides 3DP that can be used to support engineering designprototyping, 3) PSTs will know how to design something that can meet the manufacturingconstraints, i.e., can be actually fabricated, and 4) reduce errors and frustrations caused by faileddesign and failed prints which happen frequently to novices
