this project, collaborative learning was experienced with an example of knowledge of 3D rapid prototyping.Future Work In the future, we hope to develop a modified version of the prosthetic mitral valve bytrying different materials with greater flexibility. There are also hopes for increasing the utility of 3D rapid prototyping. 3D rapidprototyping can possibly be used to print a scaffold to be used in tissue engineering. As differentdesigns and concepts are created, 3D rapid prototyping will bring these ideas to fruition. Another thought to keep in mind is that implantation of prosthetic heart valves is veryinvasive and depending on the age and health condition of the patient, they may not be able toundergo the procedure

Interestingly, many students initially overlooked or at least undervalued the fact that music and other arts have very rich engineering applications; thus the goal of our work is to broaden students’ perspectives and inspire them to be open-minded as they look for innovative ways to apply their engineering skills.

Many of the upperclassmen in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department at Texas A&MUniversity-Kingsville stated that if they had known they would use a specific topic from thePhysics, Calculus, or Linear Algebra classes they would have paid more attention to the materialwhen taking the class since they would have some idea how they would use that knowledge intheir junior/senior years.

relevant. Our house design had to consider principles of sustainability because this concept has the power to change the way the society uses its resources. These necessary design changes helped us to realize that engineers face many limits in their designs, including availability of resources and budget. In addition, the necessity to make design changes made it clear to us that engineering design is not a one solution process. It requires a great deal of patience and an open mind, something we quickly learned when we had to think of how to effectively alter the house’s design without compromising the most desired features of the home.These quotes indicate that overall the project serves to increase
