A three-semester course sequence allowed students to develop a concept for asatellite formation flight laboratory for the International Space Station, build a high-fidelityprototype, and operate it for short periods of micro-gravity on NASA’s KC-135.

As a result, additivemanufacturing (AM) is one of the fastest-growing methods of changing a 3D design model to a3D product without any process planning method. The process is commonly called 3D printingtechnology and has found extensive applications in areas such as automotive, architecture,manufacturing, aerospace, thermal, flexible electronics, medicine, fashion, retail, and sports. Amajor aspect of 3D printing technology is its ability to produce parts which are not possible bytraditional manufacturing techniques.

An emphasis is given in this paper to incorporate someapplications of composites in an innovative way to undergraduate students. The experience shows that this is aviable and inexpensive approach to complement the education on composite materials. Introduction Applications of fiber composite materials and sandwich structures are significant in the design andmanufacturing of aerospace vehicles. The maintenance of such vehicles require the knowledge of repair andtesting. While understanding the mechanics of

Also, 3D printing can help bring material productsto market faster. Additive manufacturing/3D printing is being applied in a diverse range ofindustries. Applications are found in aerospace, automotive, medical, electronics, and defense.The Air Force research laboratory has used 3D printing to fabricate the GRIN lens with anoperational frequency of 12 GHz7.

Because the study of engineering is directlyinfluenced by industry standards, we look to Anderson et al’s 3 work on the information sourcesused by engineering professionals, specifically those in the aerospace industry, as an example ofthe professional behaviour that both undergirds the information seeking of engineering studentsand may serve as a model for students when they are on coop work-terms or complete theireducation and enter the work force.Information
