experimentation and technological advancements provided musicians, and non-musicians,with new ways of creating, exploring, and programming music, as evidenced by the electronicmusic explosion in the 80s [6].A key motivation for science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education is to helpstudents make connections between practical applications of various disciplines [7]. The domainof musical acoustics rests squarely at the intersection of music, science, mathematics, andtechnology, and can provide an environment to make these connections interesting andmotivating for students. Prior research on introducing such courses in basic physics, for instance,that discussed musical waves and sound, served to motivate students and give them a

Thefocus of the project was to link engineering faculty with faculty from core subject areas such ashistory, math and English. The experience was very rewarding. Shortly after employment, the writer enlisted his former graduate advisor in a joint ventureto write a paper, and possibly a chapter in a book. The former advisor welcomed the opportunity,and the efforts were successful. As his former advisee, the author posed no threat to the quality ofwork that the advisor is accustomed to producing.

One Week – Bucknell Fabrication Workshop (B-Fab)IntroductionWithin the past decade or more, the increased technological capacity of incoming students –accompanied by a diminished skill-set with regard to traditional hands-on, “tinkering” skills hasbeen discussed in both STEM education as well as mainstream media [1, 2]. Many studentschoose engineering because they want to learn how to design and build the solutions oftomorrow, yet they often do not have dedicated opportunities to expand their hands-on skill setwithin the engineering curriculum. Sadly, traditional curricular instruction in engineering is suchthat students spend the bulk of their first three years learning theory, and relatively little timecontextualizing
