In this work, students learn AM processes by comparinginexpensive 3D printers, three DLP (FlashForge Hunter, MoonRay S, and Phoenix Touch ProTranslating) and one FFF (MakerBot Replicator 2) 3D printer. These students’ explorations of new3D printing technologies exemplify “expansion,” the fifth stage of the students’ 3D printingexpertise evolution [33].Curricular ContextEven though 3D printers are used in many courses, the 3D printing lab/lecture modules areformally introduced in detail in a required one-semester, three credit-hours senior-level Computer-Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) course in two engineering programs: Bachelor of Science inEngineering with specialization in Mechatronics (BSE-Mechatronics) and Industrial Engineering(IE

strain.BackgroundThe ability for universities and other academic institutions to teach inter-disciplinary engineeringeffectively has increased over the past few decades. An example of this is shown in the progressmade in several studies by Marasco. In each of the studies it was found that when two or moredisciplines were implemented into the curriculum in order to teach the students a subject, thestudents actually learned the material better than if the subject was taught by itself [6]. In anotherthesis presented by Rigby, it was found that when students were presented with multiplerepresentations, or multiple sides of the same concept(s), that the students had a betterunderstanding of an ill-defined concept [8].

Theoretically, the ADS-B Out device broadcasts a data frame once per second,which contains the basic flight parameters, such as aircraft identity, surface position data,airborne position data, airborne velocity, and other operational data [12]. The ADS-B receiverremains operational constantly to intercept the ADS-B Out messages for data

project would train the involved student/s within theMechanical Engineering Technology program on how to save energy consumption, learn how tobuild and collect data, use various instruments such as thermometers, thermocouples, multi-meters, programming and conduct calibration. The students would gain significant knowledge indata analysis and statistics while comparing the results. A successful project would reflect goodunderstanding for students in most core courses required by MET programs such as thermal courses, control, instruments, and statistics.

Following that, they supplement their understanding by engaging in the Virtual Electronics Laboratory.3.2 Student Evaluation ProcedureAll students were evaluated in their familiarity and understanding of the use of the laboratoryequipment through an online quiz that was delivered through the learning management systemBlackboard. After completion of the assigned lab experience(s), students were instructed tocomplete the quiz component prior to the
lecture the instructorintroduces the parameters of thermal resistance, thermal capacitance, time constant, and stepinput size; and links the cooling methods proposed by students to the correspondingparameter(s). The open-ended rich solution set of this challenge offers to open discussion inmany directions, including the limitations of lumped system modeling.Fluid in a Tube: This experiment illustrates the step response of a second order fluid system as afunction of its damping ratio. Students are asked to observe fluid oscillations in a tube andexplore how the size and duration of oscillations varies with restrictions to air flow at the end ofthe tube. During a follow-on lecture the instructor shows plots of the oscillations observed inthis
