project to conform to educational best practices the focused learningobjective is on “design thinking,” which relates to: handling uncertainty, making decisions aspart of a team, technical communication, and viewing design as an iterative process [7].Offering engineering students access to rapid prototyping is a novel approach to understandingthe iterative nature of the design process [17]. Design experiences can be facilitated by the useof 3D printing technologies [17-19], in fact the use of 3D printers within the educational settinghas increased significantly over the past several years. With Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM)printers becoming more affordable [19-20], the expansive growth and accessibility of such 3Dprinters is an opportunity to

While thisfirst year course is taught after the student has entered college, it is experienced by all enteringCS and SE freshman in their first semester. By offering a hands-on experience with a simpleprogramming language and robotics in this initial class, students without the benefit of priorexposure to the application of technology gain that experience. Hall and Mungar summarize thatrobotics have become a popular addition in first year experience courses for computer scienceand engineering because the physical aspect of a robot makes the computing process explicit

tostudents is through the use of a traditional lecture style class. However, in such a setting, keepinga large class engaged in the material can present quite a challenge. This challenge can be partlymet through the use of technology, student response devices, and/or carefully crafted lectures.Even so, some students will remain unengaged due to other factors like physical/mentalexhaustion or the many distractions a large room full of over 300 students can present. Thisbecomes an even larger challenge in the case of a first-year introductory engineering course dueto the varied backgrounds of the students; some of whom have completed high-schoolengineering programs and might have experienced similar subject matter previously.
