personnel. These partnerships should extend beyond colleges ofscience, engineering, and technology to include representatives from colleges of education,business, and a few others. Additionally, representatives from the pK-12 sector should beincluded to provide perspective on foundational education preparation. These partnershipsexemplify the essence of a P-20 model [6]. The model addresses the development of the studentfrom pK-12 through higher education to participate in the workforce. Recent decisions for bringing back manufacturing sent overseas have been based on therealization that manufacturing in the U.S. is only slightly more than the cost of manufacturing inChina, and less than the cost of manufacturing in eastern Europe [7

IntroductionMost US manufacturing, mechanical engineering and engineering technology programs offerhands-on practices to undergraduate students. Courses with hands-on labs and/or design projectswere mainly related to three Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET)student outcomes: (b) an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze andinterpret data, (g) an ability to communicate effectively, and (k) an ability to use the techniques,skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice. This is mainly becausestudents need to conduct hands-on experiments and write reports to present the outcomes of

Our results show that students show great enthusiasm for 3D printingtechnologies and through years of use they develop expertise.A new engineering design culture has emerged. It revolves around the 3D printing lab whichbecame a crucial element in required courses, special projects, independent studies, senior projectdesign courses, master thesis research, as well as, events supported by student sections ofengineering societies (IEEE and IIE), and community events.
