The Curriculum Framework, created with input fromeducators and industry, shape AM curricula and course syllabi because they specify the learningoutcomes that AM graduates upon completion of two-year AM degree programs. TheDepartment of Labor’s Advanced Manufacturing Competency Model, crafted by federalpolicymakers and industry representatives, includes personal, academic, industry-specific, andmanagerial competencies needed by successful AM technicians; the Model is intended toinfluence technicians’ hiring, training, and evaluation. Although these documents were createdby different sets of stakeholders, they “bookend” AM technicians’ school-to-career pathways. Todetermine the extent to which the 2019-2020

instructors and the students considered the course to be successful and worthwhile.IntroductionIn light of its heritage and mission, Loyola University Maryland places a strong emphasis on theliberal arts, even as it offers professional programs in many areas, including computer, electrical,materials, and mechanical engineering. Recently, the institution has undertaken an initiative todevelop courses at the boundaries of different academic disciplines. The intent is to challengeboth students and instructors to explore connections and synergies that might otherwise gounnoticed when the subjects are treated in separate courses. With this in mind, the authorsdeveloped and taught—for the first time in Fall 2019—a pilot undergraduate course that
engineering faculty found problem-solving, akin to criticalthinking, to be the single most important competency for engineers [39]. Critical thinking isassociated with many aspects of ABET Student Outcomes. Not only does it address problemsolving and analysis, but the process of argumentation cultivates communication skills that areessential to collaboration. Being self-critical keeps one open-minded to learn and solve problemsboth alone and in groups. Lastly, the process and spirit of inquiry is a necessary driver in self-directed, lifelong learning [19]. Despite its accepted importance, engineering graduatesconsistently fall short in critical thinking skills according to employers [29], [39], [40].According to a 2019 literature review, established

2019 class of Mechanical Engineering Design at Chico State, a hands-on semesterproject titled Electric Ceiling Hoist was facilitated through the weekly two-hour activity time.The assignment and outcomes of this project are the focus of this paper and a detailed account ispresented herein. For the first five weeks of the semester, the two-hour weekly activities wereindividual assignments that focused on component design, report writing, and utilizing softwaresuch as excel or Matlab. These assignments paralleled the lecture and stepped up in difficultyand requirements. The last of these individual assignments was a paper design for a simplifiedversion of the semester project. The motivation here was that every student must conduct theprescribed
