instructingthese principles, UGTAs provide hands-on support for students both during and outsideof class and contribute significantly to the operation and maintenance of the 3D printing lab. Nearthe beginning of the semester, in-class support is focused on helping students during lectures. Nearthe middle of the semester, their in-class focus becomes more of a project management role asclass activities transition to final project design and development. As project managers, eachUGTA is responsible for two or three teams and provides guidance with navigating throughengineering challenges that may arise. Outside of class, office hours are provided at least once perday by the UGTAs where students can receive help on assignments or other questions related

Cali - Colombia AbstractThis work presents a description of activities and results achieved from the implementation of a"hands-on" training program in the field of manufacturing of fiber reinforced composite materialsfor aerospace applications within the framework of the Fulbright Specialist program. The hostinstitution for the program was the Universidad del Valle in Cali, Colombia and the Specialistwas Dr. Ronald Sterkenburg from Purdue University. The implemented process to fulfill thedefined objectives is shown as well as some of the work developed after the specialist visit,which is related to what was called project AVE. Finally, some general conclusions were drawnalong with the lessons learned

Students define the problem, establish objectives and specifications,and choose methods to solve and mitigate the situation. Students model the system inappropriate detail to explain the cause of the excessive demand charges and a solution to themthat fits the Director’s vision. The students implement their solution, something that is rare insenior design projects that have real world, public utility effects.Interdisciplinary Engineering Senior Design ProgramThe University of Idaho’s interdisciplinary senior design program has been in place for abouttwenty years in its present form.

classes, and to what extent it helps students tomeet their objectives and quality of their project work. Since our university operates on a quarteracademic system, each course needs to be completed in just 11 weeks. The number of membersin each group of a capstone is either 3 or 4. One example of the project dealing with anautomated bed clearing mechanism of a 3D printing machine is presented in this paper. A groupof 4 students developed two ideas of this system. The design details of one of these ideas ispresented in this paper. The 3D printer in this example uses Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM)process. Many automotive, aerospace and other sectors are focusing on using functional 3Dprinted parts to either reduce the weight or to replace metal

Thus, in the Fall of 2016, the My Possibilities Art Table project began. The objective of this project is to develop a motorized easel (i.e. art table) that will allow My Possibilities’ students to self-sufficiently operate the table. The team solved this problem by developing an art table that would be wheelchair accessible, contain simple controls, and include vertical and rotational motion. In order to deliver the finalized product, the team segmented the system into subsystems to improve the design process. These systems included a

There were 25 suchmodules implemented starting Fall 2018, Spring 2019 and Fall 2019, specifically in Ethics,Creative Thinking, Critical Thinking, and Self-learning. We describe how those moduleswere developed and piloted, how their efficacy was assessed, what were the lessons learnedfrom their implementation, and implications for the future. One of the key findings is that theWays of Thinking should be more integrated into the students’ project work in NEET. Weconclude by describing our plans for further integration of the Ways of Thinking into NEET,including their rigorous assessment to optimally

While thatapproach proved to be effective, it was desired to extend the concept of problem-based learning toencompass a variety of realistic scenarios while fostering creativity through enhancedcommunication and visualization enabled by CAD and 3D printing. The new approach adds twonew learning outcomes and removes one from the earlier approach. Assessment of studentperformance is made primarily through individual assignments, quizzes, a final team project andan exam.Two significant challenges have arisen with the CAD/3D-printing approach. The first

Forengineering technology education, hands-on real-world problems and approved applied learningtechniques were emphasized and integrated into student learning experiences. Industrial standardsoftware, industrial instrumentation, and new industrial measuring techniques were introduced inlab projects. Structured reflection techniques were used to monitor and manage student projectactivities both inside and outside classrooms. The student evaluation data in first year show thatsuch techniques not only can greatly increase student involvement in class activities, but also canbetter prepare

Inone state, this is due in part to the 2008 Global Warming Solutions Act (GWSA), whichmandates that greenhouse gases be reduced in the state to 25% below 1990 levels by 2020, and80% by 2050 [1]. To address the growing need for investment in job creation, a privateuniversity, an urban high school, and an industry partner collaborated to create a program forhigh schoolers to instill excitement in this growing field. Specifically, this program addressesthe increasing need for a diverse and highly skilled STEM (Science, Technology, Engineeringand Math) workforce with a focus on Clean Energy.

Worse yet, groups largely untapped by this field, women and minorities,make up a significant portion of the nation’s growing talent pool [7], but are extremelyunderrepresented in HPC related disciplines.A Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site is an important mechanism to combatthe shortage of HPC professionals. The REU program by the U.S. National ScienceFoundation (NSF) supports active research participation by undergraduate students in any ofthe areas of research funded by the NSF. REU projects involve students in meaningful ways inongoing research programs or in research projects specifically designed for the REU program.As one
