Student response to the question “What is the highest level of education you plan to pursue?” at the start of the year, prior to beginning any engineering activities with a graduate fellow.Students were asked which career fields they were interested in pursuing as a top choice and theresults are shown in Figure 2. More than 30% of students were interested in pursuing careerswithin the Arts, A/V technology and communication fields, a little over 15% were interested inHealth Science, and there is an even distribution among ten other career fields

Our results show that students show great enthusiasm for 3D printingtechnologies and through years of use they develop expertise.A new engineering design culture has emerged. It revolves around the 3D printing lab whichbecame a crucial element in required courses, special projects, independent studies, senior projectdesign courses, master thesis research, as well as, events supported by student sections ofengineering societies (IEEE and IIE), and community events.

as these and present solutions for such challenges through acombination of technology and approach to teaching.1. introductionA primary goal of engineering education is to provide students with requisite technicalgrounding along with practice and experience in the design and evaluation of real andpractical systems. This goal becomes increasingly difficult with the expanding body ofknowledge, integration of concepts across disciplines, and complexity of design toolsneeded in engineering industries.1 While an expert/apprentice model of education maybe more fitting to preparing engineers for professional practice, traditional instructionmodels include in-person lectures covering fundamental technical concepts with thebulk of practice and

It is an inherently creative process thatis carried out every day, whether it’s for building a rocket ship or planning a date for Fridaynight. With the rise of technology and globalization, the engineering design environment has avariety of challenges including: increased complexity, shorter lifecycles, constrained budgets, anincreased demand for partnerships, in addition to other considerations such as environmentalimpacts, performance, regulations, and legal ramifications.The ways in which to approach the design process are varied.
