This paper will present and explain in detail the integrated active learning approachfor teaching fatigue theory. The class survey data analysis is also presented and analyzed.1. IntroductionFatigue is defined as failure under a repeated or varying load. This load never reaches a levelsufficient to cause failure in a single load application. Fatigue damage or failure is initiated andinduced through some defects on the surfaces and/or inside components. The defects could bemanufacturing process induced scratches on the surfaces or dislocations, impurities

videos.IntroductionAn increasing number of engineering courses are being taught in a flipped (or inverted) format[1], [2], [3] and improving learning in flipped classes is a timely need. In its most general sense,a flipped class is a class where activities that normally occur in the classroom are swapped withthose that normally occur outside the classroom [4]. Traditionally, classroom activities in manyengineering classes involve lectures and instructor-led problem-solving sessions. Since theseactivities can be presented outside the classroom most effectively through online videos (ratherthan through readings), watching videos has become an integral part of learning in flippedengineering classes [5]. Given this, improving learning in flipped classes requires

One of the holdbacks of additivemanufacturing processes is that they can be time-consuming. Particularly, Fused DepositionModeling (FDM) machines can take hours [2], or days to complete a large load-bearing part, justbecause the part requires a sizeable amount of plastic to complete a higher percentage infillcomponent with additional perimeters around the part to achieve strong enough mechanicalproperties for the part to sustain the loads required [3],[4].

There is ample evidence that the academic achievement oftoday’s students falls below desired levels and that the lack of academic engagement is a majorcontributor [1, 2].

Such factors include studentpreparation, socioeconomic background and teaching style effectiveness [3-5].
