[1]. Society demands engineers capable of co-creatinga sustainable society. The need to integrate sustainable development as a red thread throughall education has existed for a long time, and with the formation of the 17 sustainabilitydevelopment goals (SDGs) [2] in combination with the contemporary climate debate, thisneed is even more obvious regarding engineering education in 2030 than it is now.In addition to the challenge of sustainability, another challenge is posed by the industrydemand for engineers who are experienced in project management and who have the ability tolearn and adapt quickly, given that career paths will change more rapidly in the near future[3], [4], [1]. Therefore, these future requirements for employability

Thorsteinsson and Page [1]discussed the evolution of 3D printing and Industry 4.0 and remarked that “Industry 4.0 is touted,by many, to change the lives of millions over the next several decades. Industry 4.0 is a term thatseems to be synonymous with 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing”.The literature suggests that students and graduates who possess direct metal additivemanufacturing techniques knowledge and skills have a career advantage compared to studentswhose knowledge and skill base is limited to plastic printing [2]. Therefore, there has been arecent interest among institutions in direct metal additive manufacturing. Many institutions

Many institutions(and the academic departments within them) ask their least experienced faculty (typically, newassistant professors or lecturers) to teach large courses in their first few years8,22. Often thesecourses have many hundreds of students and are, by virtue of their size, among the mostchallenging to teach effectively13,36,62,48.
