AFS estimates that about 90 percent of durable goods contain cast parts [7].Metalcasting facilities exist in all 50 states; of the states with the highest number of metalcastingfacilities, Pennsylvania ranks fourth after Ohio, California, and Michigan [8].Much education research, professional organization support, and company opinions exist on thebest ways to encourage prospective and current students to pursue a career in metalcasting ormanufacturing. Perhaps most notably in education, the Foundry Education Foundation (FEF)“strengthens the metalcasting industry by supporting unique partnerships among students,educators and industry, helping today's students become tomorrow's leaders [9].” Universitiesinterested in

We will discuss the virtual activities carried out during this summer camp. Aswell as the modifications made to this course to make it more suitable for online teaching.Virtual teaching was an opportunity to share

The post-training perception of the topics in relation to their career is shown below inFigure 3a. The average student change in perception is shown in Figure 3b. The post trainingdata indicates that all of the topics appeared to be relevant to the students for their career.Artificial intelligence scored the least relevant, perhaps due to the approach taken to describemachine learning or the intimidation of the complexity of implementation with advancedcomputer programming. In the change in perception results, it was interesting and promising tosee that Data Contextualization, providing meaning to

Evaluation of the Hands-on Online/On-ground 3DP WorkshopThis section presents the main findings from the evaluation survey completed by 11 participantswho attended the project workshop in January of 2021, at Tennessee Tech University.Five of the participants attended in person, and six attended virtually via Zoom. Of the 11participants, nine (82%) were male, and two (18%) were female. The racial breakdown was 64%White (n = 7), 27% (n = 3) Black or African American, and 9% (n = 1) Hispanic.3.2.1.

: Throughout the project, I have learned plenty of skills. Some skills that I strengthened during this project were problem solving, designing of new parts, and integrating creative ideas to simulate something in the real world. Problem solving skills are essential to everyday life and especially in the field of engineering. These skills within this project showed through the process of designing the modular pieces to become something truly relevant in the real world and it proved to be difficult at some times. Throughout my high school and college career, I’ve loved designing new parts by using applications such as SolidWorks and Autodesk Inventor. By designing the new parts such as spur gears, rack
