partners,private industry, state government, and federal government, provide students the opportunity to work inan environment that matches their experience after graduation. Students are programming roboticsystems, developing medical devices, leveraging 3D printing techniques, and more [14].In the years since its founding in December of 2014, CDME has experienced much success bothfinancially as well as in student outcomes. By exposing undergraduates to the wide range of workopportunities in manufacturing, CDME believes it has increased the number of students interested inpursuing a career in this industry. Simultaneously, CDME is an excellent recruitment and retainment toolfor undergraduate students seeking both pay to help offset the cost of

the level of creativity or autonomy they desired. Despite theseconcerns, the majority of students responded positively, indicating that their labs and projects preparedthem for future endeavors and appreciated the limited autonomy to explore their own ideas. Theintegration of entrepreneurial education into the manufacturing curriculum has shown promising results inencouraging engineering students to engage more deeply with I&E programming. The outcomes of thisproject suggest students see some value in I&E content integration and that there exists a viable path forother engineering departments to foster entrepreneurial thinking in their students. Students' preferencessuggest including I&E content early in their academic careers and

development, K-12 outreach workshops, onlinetrainings, and in-person training sessions (i.e., bootcamps). The K-12 outreach workshops aretargeted at inspiring young students to pursue further learning and potential careers in METAL.The Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 curriculum is targeted to a broad audience from young adultsthrough “gray” adults with increasing level number corresponding to more job/ industry specifictrainings and the study of more advanced technologies and research topics. The overall targetedaudience for the METAL program is said to be “K to Gray.” Table 1. Primary contributions to the METAL program by partner organizations. Organization Contribution IACMI program

andredesigning the existing drones. This project introduces drone reverse engineering concepts thatare significant for undergraduate engineering students for several reasons. It provides hands-onexperience with real-world technology, allowing students to apply theoretical knowledge inpractical settings. This process enhances critical thinking and problem-solving skills as studentsanalyze and deconstruct existing drone designs to understand their functionalities and limitations.Moreover, engaging in reverse engineering fosters innovation, encouraging students to developtheir own designs and improvements. Additionally, it prepares students for future careers inaerospace, robotics, and defense, where understanding the mechanics of existing technologies

, we expand access tovaluable manufacturing education beyond traditional classroom settings. Metal casting is oftenperceived as resource-intensive and inaccessible to many students due to equipment costs andsafety concerns, but this module democratizes learning by providing step-by-step guidance anddemonstrations in a digital format [16]. Through YouTube, students, educators, and hobbyistsworldwide can learn about foundry techniques, engage with the content through discussions, andapply the knowledge in their own learning environments. Making this module freely availablesupports the broader mission of engineering education by fostering inclusivity, promoting hands-on learning, and encouraging interest in manufacturing careers.

Engineering Department at MIT. SheKhas served in various teaching capacities from undergraduate instructor to lead instructor of courses in design and manufacturing in the departments of mechanical engineering and materials science at MIT over the course of eighteen years. Her PhD research and current lab focus on projects at the intersection of design and manufacturing, with challenging materials and environments. For five years prior to graduate study, she worked as a manufacturing engineer in the medical device and microfabrication industries. This time in industry, combined with her experience as an undergraduate student taking the same course, as well as family members specializing in education careers have

%**Average of passing student was 72.8%The success of our work-study internship students in these classes so far testifies to theeffectiveness of these approaches. In this past academic year of work-study internships with aspecific employer, only one student has dropped out, not because of academic performanceissues, but because of a change in interest by the student. (In a way, that is a success, since theworkplace experience gave the student an early indication of the career mismatch.)Instructors implementing HyFlex opportunities in their classes frequently noted advantages theHyFlex resources and options offered to all students, not just those involved in internships: • Improved ease of accommodation for students with illness. • Student

designcomponents that are compatible with 3D printing. The evaluation results show that the coursewas well received by the PSTs who have improved their knowledge in 3D printing. In the futurecourse offering, both knowledge gain and efficacy will be evaluated to help us better understandthe impact of the course.Keywords: Preservice teacher education, engineering design process, 3D printing 1. Introduction Engineering Design Process (EDP) is an integral component of what engineers do and howthey approach societal problems. 3D Printing (3DP) has been becoming more and more popularthroughout the education system including high schools.
