In addition, an instructorcan require each individual group to 3D print their own truss (rather than simply demonstratingthe printing procedure and conducting the failure loading test of the two optimized trusses). Thistype of expansion, of course, will require a significant time investment. It typically takes onehour to print the members needed to fully erect the truss at normal printing speeds (60-80 mm/s).The time required to train the teaching assistant (TA) to install and troubleshoot the 3D printer,and work with the g-code generator should take approximately 5-10 hours

civilengineering faculty have sought to develop their program appropriately along a set of commonlyaccepted educational taxonomies; that is, Bloom’s Taxonomy. These widely known taxonomiesare based on the seminal work of the 1950’s educational committee chaired by Benjamin Bloom.The committee established a set of taxonomies in three domains of learning: cognitive, affectiveand psychomotor. The cognitive domain taxonomy is widely accepted in many fields and hasbeen identified as, “arguably one of the most influential education monographs of the past halfcentury.”3 The taxonomies are a language that describes the progressive development of anindividual in each domain and are defined as follows4:  Cognitive: of, relating to, being, or involving conscious

These assessments provide binary or dichotomous feedback:students get the right answer and full credit or the wrong answer and no credit. Students with lowknowledge states who randomly guess on a four-answer-choice question have an expected scoreequal to 25% of the total points. If the students can eliminate one or two answer choice(s), theirexpected score moves towards 50% of the total points.

that are probably typical of many senior design programs. These included • A process that allowed some students to assume a large portion of the project system design while others minimized their contributions, resulting in variable learning, • A system that made it difficult to evaluate individual students’ work as a team member, • Inconsistent and sometimes untimely mentoring of technical design work because this occurred only as-requested by groups or after identification by another faculty member, also resulting in widely variable learning experiences, • A very heavy mentoring load for the year-long course instructor(s) that gave the course a reputation of being a highly undesirable assignment
