Academic Programs in the College of Engineering at the University of Michigan.Her primary responsibility in that role was to assure the delivery of a curriculum that addressed college-wide educational objectives to prepare students for 21st century careers. In this role Dr. Meadows led the planning, implementation and assessment of the College of Engineering first year program and targeted curriculum development projects. This led to her development as an educational researcher and she now conducts interdisciplinary research at the intersection of social psychology and engineering education, with specific emphasis on the influence of gender stereotypes in student teams.Dr. Laura Kasson Fiss, Michigan Technological

The spring course is intendedto provide the students with the skills they need to undertake science research projects during thesummer and includes topics such as data analysis, responsible conduct of research, and thedissemination of scientific data. Fourteen students enrolled in the 2018 research course; mostwere female (only three males enrolled in the program), and non-minority (only threeminorities). During the summer, students were engaged in conducting research under thementorship of QCC faculty. Research projects included topics such as space weather

It was also contended that qualityengineering concepts that include device regulation, standards and safety engineering may beeven more important than product development (design) in BME education [3].

Theseaspects made AM gain lots of momentum in the last decade. In thiscommunication, we will show how to introduce students to advanced designconcepts using AM and real life scenarios to make custom parts. Most of thesecustom products will address the challenges of the medical industry which is thelargest one in the USA.
