This technology hasfound application in industry, governmental engineering laboratories, manufacturing facilitiesand all types of schools. As the sophistication of this technology has increased the base priceof these units has decreased. RP are now cost effective in graduate schools, technical schoolsand secondary and primary educational facilities. New improvements in the technology havemade RP units available to almost any school in our country. The terminology used in the rapid prototyping industry is not completely consistent. Some differentiate “RP” from “3D Printing” Theoretically RP includes more expensive machines and

As we teach the design and implementation of process control systems inthe Engineering curriculum, we must recognize that these systems will require capabilities forcontrol and support from remote locations. For example, the need for remote control may bedriven by the high cost of a particular process. The Oak Ridge National Laboratory uses remoteprocess control at its

One area that particularly felt the impact wasscience, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education, where hands-on learningexperiences were limited. An NSF (National Science Foundation) report indicated around 55million students (about twice the population of Texas) in the U.S. were affected by the shift tovirtual or alternative learning [3].

In my classroom, I use technology regularly to havestudents face themselves. During each class I videotape every presentation of every student.After class I transform the clips into video files and make them available.
