Transdisciplinary Engineering Design Process: Tracing Design Similarities through Comparison of Design Stages across Engineering DisciplinesIntroduction The integration of technology into contemporary product development practices hastransformed the engineering design process from disciplinary [1-3] to transdisciplinary. Thisintegration requires discipline experts to share technologies and knowledge beyond theirtraditional boundaries to design and create an artifact, thus resulting in a transdisciplinary designprocess. A transdisciplinary design process is a problem-solving activity that brings together,scientific knowledge and problem-solving techniques from multiple disciplines to solve acomplex problem [4].

As the U.S. aims to increase their STEM workforce, they arefaced with the harsh truth that, while women and ethnic minorities represent 70% of collegestudents, less than 45% are pursuing a degree in STEM [3]. Women represent nearly half of theworkforce in the U.S. however, only a quarter of these women hold STEM jobs [4]. With thesetroubling facts of the U.S. schools and workforce, studies would further suggest that, whilerecruitment efforts are being geared further towards racially and ethnically diverse men andwomen students, little is being done to ensure their retention in their STEM careers.

The impactsof using 3D printed specimens on the engineering curriculum for mechanical engineers are alsodiscussed.IntroductionFused deposition modeling (FDM) is an additive manufacturing technology commonly used formodeling, prototyping, and production applications. It is one of the techniques used for 3Dprinting. FDM works on an “additive” principle by laying down material in layers; a plasticfilament is unwound from a coil and supplies material to produce a part.
