However, the scope of the course,and its four core components remained same, which are: fundamentals of CNC, basic AMprocesses and technologies, solid modeling & 3D scanning, and applications of AM. 1. Concept of CNC was introduced to lay down the foundation and its relevance to 3D printing. Since 3D printing is the expansion of CNC, the 3D printers use the G- and M- codes, which was originally developed for CNC machining. 2. In reference to varieties of AM technologies available in the market, basic operating principles

Recently, authors increasingly argue that teaching an entrepreneurialmindset requires an integrated approach.2,3,4Kettering University has adopted this approach by trying to incorporate entrepreneurial ideasdirectly into existing classes. This can be difficult to accomplish for several reasons. First,engineering professors find it difficult to make room in the course syllabus for an entrepreneurial Page 22.845.2education. Further, many faculty have not been exposed to the “entrepreneurial mindset” andthus do not feel prepared to broach the subject in class. Kettering University has

A few things that might be considered are course learning objectives, key concepts,syllabus, course content, etc.The second notable characteristic of concept maps is their hierarchical structure. Somecommonly used hierarchical structures include: • Top-Down Hierarchy: In this structure, the most general concepts are placed at the top, with increasingly specific concepts branched below. This structure provides a clear and organized view of the topic. • Bottom-Up Hierarchy: This structure starts with specific details or examples at the bottom, leading to more general concepts at the top.
