project students presents a number of progresses on the attainment of the ABET StudentOutcomes. This paper reports the development and implementation aspects of this course.1. IntroductionIn Fall 2022, a required subtractive manufacturing course has been improved with a term projectfocused to service learning. The intention was to develop and implement practices tied to servicelearning and enhance the course students’ learning and success by implementing a servicelearning – focused term project. Service Learning is a teaching and learning approach thatconnects academic course to community-based problem solving practices [1]. Service Learninghas been proven as a successful student-centered learning activity in a high number ofEngineering and
previously reported on the findings of an externalevaluator regarding students’ experiences and attainment of the desired learning outcomes andskills during the first year of the project, academic year 2021/2022, [7]. Given the small samplesize, a structured focus group consisting of all six engineering students from different disciplineswho participated in the project (the whole population) was conducted by the evaluator to gatherfeedback and descriptive data. While keeping in mind the small population size constrained bythe nature of the project, the findings indicated positive students’ experiences and learningoutcomes. Students highlighted the gained understanding of AM and the role it can play inproduct development, interdisciplinary exposure
real data already collected in previous years. Ultimately, by taking anexperiential learning approach, students effectively learned IIoT knowledge in smartmanufacturing settings to apply their knowledge in real-world practice.6.

standards are used during additivemanufacturing process development, and using standards during testing and evaluation ofadditively manufactured parts. Examples of standards covered include ASME Y14.46 andISO/ASTM 52900-21. The modules are applicable for all types of AM processes but focus moston material extrusion and powder bed fusion. We describe the process of designing the modules,guided by best-practices for online learning and a backwards design strategy, use of a variety ofonline learning technologies, and interactive course activities. The modules have been deployedinto the curriculum of several additive manufacturing-related courses offered at a large publicuniversity in the southwestern United States starting in Fall 2022.
