During the debriefing, the instructorasks teams to sacrifice one card from their selection to consider minimum impact on the finalresult. The point of the exercise is to show that all of these cards are part of the major categoryheadings of the ISO/IEC 17025 standard and that sacrificing one component will be detrimentalto the quality of their measurement results.The standard is reviewed at this point and two key sections are highlighted, one on the topic ofdocument control and one on records management.

, 3D printers are well maintained, frequentlycalibrated, and quickly repaired as needed. Before printing, each new design is critiqued and pre-processed with the help of a technician. Here, technicians instruct students about best practices in“printability” and position/orientation of parts to be printed. During printing, students arerequired to oversee the process for the first few layers to make sure the plastic adheres well to theprinting platform. Then, the technicians are required to observe parts for the rest of the time asthey are printed. This allows early detection of failed prints thus minimizing the amount ofwasted material and time. In some cases (proven designs) long jobs are allowed to run overnight.Removal of finished objects

IntroductionThe ability to solve real-world problems and design systems or components under realisticconstraints are essential to engineering and computer science graduates, as both mandated byABET and highly valued in professional practice. To help students develop such valuable skills,project-based learning (PBL) has been considered as a useful pedagogy by many engineering/CSeducators. However, it is also recognized that PBL may not always function if not designed andintegrated in the curriculum appropriately [1-4].
