future activities will be included in this paper. The paper will conclude with theassessment process.IntroductionReplacement of paper-based engineering graphics by its computer-based counterpart expandedthe role of engineering graphics into engineering analysis, virtual and physical rapid prototyping,and computer-aided manufacturing.Graphics instructors have been discussing this evolution and fate of paper based graphics [1] [2] [3].Another critical discussion has been on replacing introductory graphics education withfundamental design education [4][5] or establishing product design/life-cycle management as thefoundation for engineering graphics curriculum [6][7].This paper presents an effort to help engineering students better understand the

, the idea of integrating GD&Tthroughout an engineering curriculum has found some traction. In a recent article18 published outof the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), researchers partnered with industry(mainly Caterpillar) to establish innovative, hands-on approaches to teaching GD&T throughoutseveral activities as part of a freshman engineering course on design and graphics. AlthoughGD&T was originally considered “difficult to teach and learn,” the new activities focused onmanufacturing and inspection, in addition to form, fit, and function of design. The new effortswere not assessed, but the authors do conclude that GD&T is a fundamental engineering tool thathas continued to gain emphasis in industry and

the required curriculum. To this end, it is possible to leverage learningand build upon an existing knowledge base.NX and CATIA also offers a level of customization that is integral to its application in the AFL.Using the many back-end features contained in this application, the interface and system settingscan be tailored to the specific needs of the AFL. This proves crucial in a controlled setting, asNX and CATIA has been customized to function within the confines of the developed workflow,including custom settings that have been rigorously tested and validated using the equipment inthe AFL. Careful design of the workflow provides a firm foundation for implementation on themanufacturing floor.Design of the WorkflowAs the primary users of

An inter-disciplinary approach of designing and developing of a 3D printer machine, by integrating theknowledge of CAD/computer aided manufacturing (CAM), and automation methods acquired inother courses10 enable deeper learning. A few institutions are offering courses in a moretraditional format into their engineering programs.

. Puentudura1 is aimed at guiding the process oftechnology integration in a classroom with an ultimate goal of redefining teaching and learningmethodologies. Figure 1 illustrates on how the course curriculum developed for AdditiveManufacturing course at XXXXXX reflects upon SAMR framework.As shown, integrating mobile based scanning technology to additive manufacturing for realizingstudent project designs with the help of SAMR framework helped in significantly enhancing andtransforming the course outlook over the semester. The course enhancement helped in exposing thestudents to effectively integrate mobile based scanning technology, a reverse engineering approachfor identifying and addressing interface challenges.

. Sustainability is an important issue for any organization in thetwenty first century and has become an integral part of the engineering practices and policies.Engineers have a critical role to achieve this with sustainable development. Engineers should notignore the challenges and opportunities that arise from the needing sustainability development,and sustainability is a key driver for new directions in engineering all the way from design tomanufacturing. Systems thinking, problem-finding, visualizing, improving, creative problem-solving and adaptability are the six types of cognitive abilities that engineering students need todevelop as identified by the Royal Academy of Engineering [1].

Students havebeen exposed extensively through formal course material covering 3D printing technology andwould be familiar with the operation of 3D printers in general. Therefore, it was reasoned afamiliarity with the project goal of designing and constructing a self-replicating 3D printer wouldgive students more confidence in tackling the difficult task of managing an extended project overboth the design and manufacture phases, and mastering
