Instructors can now use 3D printed replicas of actual shapes for classroom teaching and demonstration. Some of these models are also used by instructors fortesting and validation of processes and validation of science. Some of the educationalexperts have used 3D printing to augment learning and have reported their findings.Ishutov [1] and his colleagues demonstrated how 3D

Planning - to determine and understand who the customers are and how to respond to their needs with appropriate processes. 2. Control - to evaluate how well the processes are meeting those needs, as well as providing feedback to all constituents 3. Improvement - to maintain and further improve the

IntroductionResearch has found that higher quality mentor-mentee relationships produce better outcomes [1].Ergo, recent studies focus on discerning factors that produce higher quality mentoringrelationships. In higher education, numerous scholars have focused on mentor-menteerelationship regarding the population of college engineering students. But the impact of thementor-mentee relationship on students’ self-efficacy in STEM teaching remained scarce. Firstof all, the interactions between STEM students and their mentors are infrequently enough,particularly the ones between racial/ethnic minorities students and their mentors [2]. Second, theculprit may be the lack of structure of how to assign different mentors to students or concreatefindings of what exactly

In thebook “Learning Science and the Science of Learning,” Michael. P. Clough states that [1], “beforeaddressing the role of laboratory experiences, where we wish to take students must first bearticulated”. For example, is the purpose of the laboratory exercise to develop a deep and long-lasting understanding of concepts or developing skills for effective science inquiry? However,even if the labs are

strips the end portions of the wire to connect them to terminals, breadboards,other wires, etc. Use of an early wire cutter design (Figure 1 [1]) involved applying an unnecessaryamount of force to bend a wire back and forth until the wire was broken. This left a burr on thecut pieces that needed to be smoothed off with a file. Current hand-held cutters are much improvedfrom this initial design, but there are still concerns about the impact of the repetitive task of cuttingon the upper-extremity musculoskeletal structure. Using poorly designed manual wire stripperscan cause physical health issues over a long period of time such as arthritis, wrist tendinitis andother such disorders.

To realize such goals, especially for the education of Millennials and Generation Z,faculty need to have deeper understanding of “our” students. The characteristics of Generation Zmay include that they are the most diverse generation, grew up with smart devices, demonstratemore current online behaviors, expect modern experience but take tech for granted, are morelikely to try and figure out problems on their own first, etc. [1-5].

IntroductionThe benefits of active learning have been supported time and again in the literature [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,9]. By comparing student learning gains in introductory physics courses, Richard Hake was able to showthat interactive courses were over two times as effective in promoting conceptual understanding ascompared to traditional ones [6]. Freeman et al. reported results from 225 studies across STEMdisciplines, comparing traditional lecture to active learning [5]. In general, students’ average examscores were shown to improve by around 6% in active learning classes. Additionally, students
