It is, for this reason, Make to Innovate has the slogan of “Design,Build, Learn”.We wish to engage students in more than just learning engineering skills. Engineering studentstoday are often required to have additional skills outside of what they learn in the classroom [1].The Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) also requires that studentslearn other skills then the math, science, and engineering we teach them [2].

As technologies advance, the manufacturing and scientific processes involved canbecome more difficult, and it can be hard to develop quick, simple demonstrations for student labclasses.One example of this is in the field of electrostatic propulsion. In electrostatic propulsion, a lowmass flow rate of propellant is accelerated to high exhaust velocities using electrostatic fields.Gridded ion thrusters and Hall thrusters are the two most common electrostatic propulsiondevices, but these can be difficult to build and operate in standard workshops, particularly whenconcerning grids for ion thrusters and the ceramic annular channel in Hall thrusters.
