removed from a block or a billet. AM developed out of rapidprototyping technologies, invented thirty years ago. The pace of evolution of the technology toadditive manufacturing is noteworthy caused mainly by quality and value addition which Additivemanufacturing proposes in the product development process: shorter lead times, less waste, andcompetitive products. With the emergence and proliferation of the technology, there is an increaseddemand of workforce which can understand principles of Additive manufacturing processes andoptimally apply it to solve real life world problems.This paper investigates existing efforts in Additive manufacturing education and its implicationsin engineering education research.

supported research programs, called ResearchExperiences for Undergraduates (REU), as a means of attracting undergraduate students intograduate education and research. Through REU at a university, undergraduate participants havean opportunity to integrate into research groups and thereby, increase their awareness andinterest in graduate school in computing, science, technology, engineering, and math (C-STEM)fields. However, NSF funds only support United States (US) citizens and permanent residentstudents from institutions that may not have particular graduate programs.During the summers of 2017 and 2018, a Southwestern public research university in the UnitedStates had an opportunity to host an NSF REU program for national undergraduate students

IntroductionFuture economic development and security in our knowledge-driven global community relies onengineers in industry, academia, and government who have the technical skill, knowledge,vision, and expertise to identify and solve real-world problems and connect scientific knowledgeand theory to technological advances1. These qualities are learned and developed througheducation and real-world professional experiences and consist of a strong theoretical backgroundas well as rigorous research and problem solving skills. Engineering students who have spenttime working as engineering practitioners prior to pursuing a PhD, a group we refer to asreturners, can bring this combination of experiences and
