until their 4th semester.Most courses taken during this time fulfilled either general science and mathematics courserequirements for engineering students or general university requirements. Problems withretention and gaining student interest early in the program led to the creation of three newcourses for 1st and 2nd year Mechanical Engineering students. In the first semester, students takethe course “Production and Manufacturing Processes”. The goal of this course is to teach thebasics of manual milling and turning, CNC milling and turning, welding, and injectionmolding/casting. Each student gets hands-on experience working with shop/lab equipment. In the2nd semester, students enroll in “Mechanical Engineering Design Technologies”. This

However, only 52% of adults in the United States claim to be “very interested”in science and technology [1], in agreement with the well documented shortage of STEMprofessionals [2]. Moreover, only 28% of adults in the United States are classified as civicscientifically literate [3]. While a multitude of initiatives and approaches have

Table 1 – Overview of ModulesExamples of Other 3D Printed Devices Intuitive and disruptive technologies like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and 3D printing (i.e.,additive manufacturing) have made prototyping and device development easier than ever. Indeed,many scientists have already taken advantage of these technologies to design their own labequipment (see Table 2 for examples), including small centrifuges, syringe pumps, pipettes,thermal cyclers, microscopes that can save images on a smartphone, and many more [1,2].Specialized
