partis beneficial for engineering fields such as aerospace and automotive where less weight meansgreater stability and speeds. All material has a failure point, so it is good to plan for how thematerial will fail and how that failure can affect the overall part. Honeycomb infill will collapseon itself, but will not fracture. This means the part can still hold the force applied to it. It seems that harder and stronger materials solidify faster when being 3D printed. Thiscan cause a rough surface finish. No matter what material is used, when 3D printing, surfaceroughness will be noticeable. A tradeoff for a better surface finish, if to reduce the strength of thepart by using ABS.Conclusion The results from the data can be useful in

For example, this student clearly articulated their next “challenge”: My next challenge is to apply for an internship in the aerospace field.Many students also discussed plans to apply to and attend graduate school. Most students knewwhat areas they wanted to apply to, and some students had goals of working with specificindividuals in their field of interest. There is so much value to going to graduate school, so I want to get my master’s degree at some point, and doing this program helped me decide that. I have a clearer decision about my future career goals…My short-term goal for this year is to apply for graduate school and being
