While the future use of AMis uncertain, it is expected to expand in industries that need highly customized and multi-functionalparts with complex shapes. Therefore, students need to learn how to design for customized andcomplex products for the future applications of the additive manufacturing. The long-term successof additive manufacturing depends on designers that can conceptually think different than theconventional way. In order to improve design skills with complex geometries used in productsmanufactured with additive technologies, MET1172 CADD/CAE class assignments are modified.This paper discusses the results of this attempt.1.

Both lesson plans have been tested ingrades K-6. Potential adaptions beyond these levels are provided in the tables as well.Engineering education at lower levels requires simple mathematics and hands-on activities; at thehigher levels, lessons can be more complex, particularly with respect to mathematics, as studentcomprehension increases.1 K-12 teachers are excellent resources for making decisionsconcerning such adaptations.

Utilizing a stretch sensing material, the onset of a loop during an endoscopic procedure was accurately determined. The effectiveness of each configuration in detecting the formation of a loop is studied. This loop detecting device was designed in a way that it can be attached to an endoscope without significantly increasing the diameter of the endoscopic tubing. Once a loop is formed, the device will send a warning signal so the doctor who performs the endoscopic procedure can adjust his or her operation to avoid harming the patient.

A more pressing concernis the overall workforce participation rate. Ferguson and Hoover report that the workforce stilllacks approximately 1.4 million participants compared to the pre-pandemic levels. In otherwords, even if every qualified person filled an open position, the workforce would still fall short.Despite the manufacturing/durable goods sector post-pandemic recovery, over 600,000 positionsremain unfilled as of January 2024 [1] - a figure many believe is significantly underestimated.Although there are many reasons why individuals have recently left their jobs or

It plays a critical role inengineering education, providing a platform for students to apply theoretical knowledge anddevelop critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills [3, 4]. As engineering evolves toaddress sophisticated technological challenges, cultivating design proficiency in studentsbecomes essential to preparing them for their future professional roles [5].

Additionally, students may not know the best way to communicate these skills to employersin interviews or other interactions, and may have limited mechanisms to verify their effort andskill development in these areas.At a large public university such as the University of Michigan, the professional competenciesneeded by students vary depending on their field of study, so any tool used campus-wide needsto be flexible to the requirements of the different units.

The growthand importance of higher education was already felt before the war, and there was resistancefrom elite universities and presidents who believed higher education was a rite of passage for theelite who were gifted and had merit. Higher education became an important priority to improvethe quality of life and expand opportunities for the middle class, hence the growth of statecolleges and universities along with community or junior colleges. When students were lessacademically prepared for a traditional baccalaureate degree, students used junior colleges aspreparation venues [1]. Elite colleges were sometimes supportive of the

While single-axis trackers do illustratehow tracking can boost efficiency [1], they offer less educational value compared to dual-axissystems. Dual-axis technology not only delivers a more comprehensive learning experiencebut also encompasses the essential knowledge needed for building simpler trackingimplementations like single-axis. Consequently, mastering a dual-axis setup inherently equipsstudents with the skills to explore new concepts of tracking systems. On the other hand, fixedsolar panel installations are even easier to set up, making them cost-effective and accessible[2].

Rather than treating“underrepresentation” as the result of an inherent deficit in people of color, this project exploresthe ways the invisible and normalized nature of Whiteness in engineering has led to systemicbarriers for students and faculty of color. We find that these barriers are consistently ignored,making it difficult to identify, challenge, and (re)imagine racial equity in engineering. In order tochallenge the hegemonic discourse of Whiteness, engineering faculty must develop the ability tosee and name these invisible forces. Our milestones for achieving this goal include: 1

Given what we know about the benefits ofan early introduction to engineering [1], we are at risk of these students changing their majorsbefore they even get to experience the engineering content. What is more, the historically highbar for math preparation to engage with engineering content also prevents students from otherdisciplines from experiencing or benefiting from exposure to the engineering mindset, regardlessof whether they want to be engineers. To remedy this, we created a first-year engineering design course to introducefoundational engineering concepts to students in their first year from any level of preparation anddiscipline, building an understanding of engineering and math skills

So, in addition to there being a high demand for constructionmanagement positions, there seems to be an opportunity to increase racial
