design-build-test approach throughout their project and were drawn to additivemanufacturing (or rapid prototyping) to help them to reduce the cycle time on each iteration ofthe design-build-test process. Two different technologies, fused deposition modeling (FDM) andfilm transfer imaging (FTI), were used to additively manufacture these parts, using a StratasysDimension and 3D Systems VFlash respectively. These technologies provided some significantadvantages in producing complex parts for the robot, but it did come with some limitations aswell. Several students started the project with the mainstream notion that additive manufacturingallowed effortless printing of any part you desired from a CAD file. Through both successes andfailures, they
performing well following theimplementation of the WEAT design prompt.IntroductionCapstone design courses vary between engineering programs and can be structured to includeindustry partners, service-learning projects for communities or competition design projects1.Utilization of a competition prompt as the capstone design project provides many benefits forstudent education2. For instance, students may receive a real-world problem submitted by aregional municipal utility tasking them with the job of treatment upgrades to improve plantperformance. Unlike the use of hypothetical academic prompts, additional opportunities aregiven to the students when they engage with a competition prompt, such as the ability to tour theproject facility, receive

Water samples were then collected at the outlet of each subbasinto investigate removal of nutrients, suspended solids, and organic material at each stage throughthe wetland system. Beyond the initial construction and testing, the main goal of having afunctioning wetland system is to utilize the treatment wetland for laboratory experiments inRHIT’s Environmental Engineering Lab course, as well as for future student research projects andpotential demonstrations in other courses at RHIT. This will provide students with an activelearning experience by performing tests of treatment capabilities on a real constructed wetland.IntroductionNatural
all” traditional lab setup is unlike real world scenarios and in the end,students learn to mimic experimental setups but the connection to theory and practice is lost. Ithas been suggested that relevant, real-world applications can promote student motivation,engagement, and comprehension1. Another study demonstrated that students are more likely tochoose engineering and stick with their choice if provided real world, authentic learningexperiences2. One suggestion to overcome the limits of traditional labs is to use field studies as apractical project-based learning that connects theory to practice.Project based learning has been stated to be the “application of knowledge” with tasks that aremore realistic and comparable to what practicing
