In recent years, there has been ashift toward involving undergraduate students in mentored research activities.1 The benefits andrewards for the students, faculty mentors, the institution, and the greater scientific andengineering community have been recognized. However, there are many challenges toimplementing a successful teaching research program at the undergraduate level.

In response toglobalization and the need to be flexible and competitive, industry increasingly relies on virtualteams to bring together resources and expertise that are geographically distributed(2). It isestimated that 30 million US workers were engaged in virtual teams in 2000(3); today the numberis even higher. A 2012 survey by the Society for Human Resource Management indicated that 46percent of organizations use virtual teams(4).

These early machines are relatively expensive, difficult to operate and require longbuild time. With the advent of self-replicating rapid prototype (RepRap) movement that startedin early 2005[2], more affordable desktop 3D printers started to appear in the market[3] starting in2009. These 3D printers deposit melted plastics layer-by-layer in microns until the part iscompleted. The build times depends on the size and fill options, typically several hours. Thisenabled designers to evaluate different design options and finalized the part in matter of days.Uses of 3D printers have evolved into mainstream manufacturing. 3D printing has fashiondesigners

The previous freshmen year was somewhat traditional in approach and consisted ofseveral classes on design communication, a broad introductory course including a lecture thatprovided an overview of various Mechanical Engineering subjects (e.g. mechanics,thermodynamics, mechatronics, and design) and supported those with a three hour/ week hands-on laboratory. There was a strong feeling among the faculty that the freshmen year could beredesigned to better support the overall program goals. One often cited goal of the redesign offreshmen engineering programs is to increase retention through discipline-specific designactivities.1-3 At Cal Poly, the one-year retention rate of Mechanical Engineering students
