presentations as assessed by various cognitive assessments of these workshops’ content?MethodParticipants: The targeted program participants were undergraduate and graduate master’s students atvarious stages of their program with major emphasis on upperclassman.Design: The design used to address the research questions was a cross-sectional design whichallows for the gathering of individual’s perceptions and opinions about fundamental aspects of aprogram, issue, or intervention. This type of design is very effective since it provides a quick“snapshot” of current skills, behaviors, attitudes, and beliefs in a particular population.Instruments: As a means of assessing the quality of the individual workshop presentations, a

Assessment EducationLife Cycle Analysis (LCA) is a methodology to quantitatively assess the overall environmentalimpact of products, processes, and systems. LCA is an invaluable tool for assessment ofenvironmental impact based both on data and the entire life cycle. EET 320 Renewable EnergySystems, is an upper-level undergraduate course at Drexel University which instructs students onthe concepts and methods of LCA. This class is available for students from all twelve (12)disciplines in the College of Engineering as part of the Green Energy Manufacturing Programwhich strives to increase student awareness regarding the impact of engineering practice on theenvironment as well as to teach students engineering design and analytical skills to minimize

micromechanics modeling, materials synthesis, structural characterization and device evaluation. The goal of his research is to develop ad- vance structural materials for the next generation ground, aerial and space vehicles with enhanced safety and energy efficiency. Since 2012, his research has been funded by DOE, DOEd, and DOD with a total of 3 million, of which 1.4 million as PI. He has published or submitted 49 technical articles since 2007 (25 referred journals and 24 conference proceedings). Dr. Lin’s teaching interests lies in Mechanical Design, Solid Mechanics, and Dynamics. Currently, he is advising 4 Ph.D. students, 3 Master students, and 2 undergraduate students.

Printing, Casting, and Entrepreneurship1. AbstractCasting is one of the oldest manufacturing processes. 3D Printing is known as one of the newesttechnologies used in the manufacturing field, and it is almost thirty years old. Although bothtechnologies are commonly used in various fields of industry and daily life, this research studyreports a unique implementation of both technologies in a new entrepreneurial environment. Theentire study had been performed in Summer 2016 as part of the Research Experiences forTeachers (RET) Supplement of a National Science foundation (NSF) funded project. In tenweeks of extensive design, 3D Printing, and casting studies, several best practices between theP16 educators and students have been established. As a

DfX can be defined as “methodologies,techniques and working practices that cause a product to be designed and manufactured for theoptimum manufacturing cost, the optimum quality, and the optimum achievement of lifecyclesupport”5.The term “X” refers to a particular design aspect that is determined based on the importancegiven by a stakeholder6. Mentioned below are a few design aspects of DfX based on different X: 1. Design for Environment (DfE): Design for Environment explores upon the design approach that addresses to reduce the impact of a product, process or a service throughout the life cycle on human health and environment. The main goals of DfE are: a. Encouraging and recognizing

This newly developed courseis designed for non-engineering majors as well as engineering students as an introduction and survey ofrapid-prototyping, especially centered on the advent, impact, and utility of 3D printers and supportingdigital technology: computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software.The course covers both the concepts and practice of 3D printing and prototyping, emphasizing hands-onwork developing computer-based design models (“drawings”) and fabricating prototypes (“parts”) usingcurrent tools for desktop manufacturing including 3D
