The instructorrequested students to build solid models using a CAD software, 3D-print the parts, and thencomplete with GD&T measurement before writing an inspection report. Hewerdine et al. [8]combined a visual method and hands-on activities to teach GD&T. By printing a defectivecomponent for inspection in different ways, the effect of datum selections can be seen whenmapping measured data points on to the model. Although 3D-printed components had been usedby many educators to teach GD&T concepts, the applying of GD&T to parts

haveshown, using a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), that the size of the particles in the weldednugget are much smaller for the samples with SiC powder than the samples without the powder[4,6]. The finer grains in the Al-Fe-SiC composites impeded the formation of new dislocations inthe materials, causing the strength of the material to increase. This is the same mechanism for theincrease in hardness. In most engineering laboratories, an SEM will not be used for more basiclabs, but many classes teach about the use and purpose of the SEM. However, teaching studentsabout what they should expect to observe when using an SEM is just as important, such as grainsizes and IMC layers, and how they are expected to affect mechanical properties

educational institutions to incorporate this technology intotheir curriculum. This ensures that students are adequately prepared with the skills and knowledgeneeded for future career opportunities. One crucial task is to teach students how to use moderntechnology to evaluate the quality of AM parts because AM has not reached the point of competingwith traditional manufacturing in terms of surface finish and repeatability. Moreover, the printedparts are often treated as black boxes with invisible defects, such as pores and cracks. Such non-transparency significantly challenges the qualification and certification of additively manufacturedparts.
