General printing layer pattern such as zigzag will decrease tensile strength perpendicular tobuild axis and poor surface finish in order for dynamic testing. Therefore, a concentric fill patternwas set up using Slic3r software to maximize tensile strength for dynamic load frame testing. Thesaved file was then loaded to Cura software to run 3D printer as shown in Figure 2(c). For theprinting parameter, the film is printed at 220 °C of nozzle temperature, 50 °C of heating bedtemperature, and 15 mm/s of extrusion speed. Final film was 0.55 mm in thickness

leak-free or airtight systems such as in plastic(micro) fluidic systems, e.g., for point-of-care lab-on-a-chip systems.An ultrasonic weld is made by bringing the working surface of a horn (sonotrode) connected toan ultrasonic transducer in close contact with two workpieces that have been positioned andaligned. The vibrating horn pressed onto the surface of the workpiece(s) creates ultrasonic(10,000 to 30,000 Hz) waves that travel through the workpiece. The ultrasonic waves incombination with applied force, create a vibration-induced frictional heating at the matingsurfaces of the parts, leading to surface melting and subsequent fusion.Ultrasonic welding is a relatively fast (1 sec per weld), clean process that does not requireadhesives

Besidesengaging the students, the assignments allowed the instructor to directly assess students’learning of the concepts from the theory lectures. The students found the assignmentsinteresting and were more engaged to the topic as those ergonomic examples relate totheir daily life. The enthusiasm and interests of the students in those exercises werereflected in the course evaluation as well. It can be concluded that the exercises engagedstudents more intensively in the course and helped them to understand the applications ofergonomics. Finally, the assignments and final term paper/case study helped to achieveseveral learning outcomes
