Therefore, multiple newmachines including a Mendelmax and Prusa Mendel were built to utilize in the class. Since theSLA Viper machine was replaced with a Projet 1200, the old but comprehensive software tool of3D Lightyear had to be replaced with new tools used for both processing of the STL files andprinting. These new tools are easier to use but not as comprehensive as the old ones. Thus, a low-cost software

Drones come with an ideal combination oftechnical and ethical challenges that will force students from both schools to wrestle togetherwith unfamiliar questions. One of our primary learning outcomes will be for this struggle tocultivate individual empathy across disciplinary boundaries. Put more practically, we want thestudents to understand how using alternative disciplinary frameworks changes theirunderstanding of problems.

Certainly, safety is emphasized in lab classes,and a capstone design project may include safety as a criterion; but the issues of meetingindustry-specific safety standards, machine guarding, and OSHA requirements are much moreprevalent in industry than in any undergraduate courses.ImplicationsReturners and direct pathway students do not differ in their self-perception of their ability toutilize computer applications.

This paper will describe the process of redesigning a junior-level mechanical engineering laboratory on measurements and instrumentation at Georgia Tech.Such classes are fairly standard in ME curricula, and they are often structured so that a newmeasurement technique, or new sensor/actuator is introduced in every lab. Such courses have theadvantage of introducing students to a wide variety of instruments and measurement techniques,but they do this at the risk of losing conceptual connections between the weekly projects.
