Unlike traditionalteaching methods, inductive teaching introduces topics by presenting specific observations, casestudies or problems. Theories are taught or the students are helped to discover them only afterthe need to know them has been established. Bransford, Brown, and Cocking [2] have surveyedextensive neurological and psychological research that provides strong support for inductiveteaching methods. Ramsden[3], Norman and Schmidt [4] and Coles [5] have also demonstratedthat inductive methods encourage students to adopt a deep approach to learning.

He further statedthat when evaluating a possible investment, a key criterion in assessing investment risk is theability of the regional infrastructure and population base to be able to locally produce at least 30percent of the doctoral level engineering and science talent that will be required by the startupfirm. Thus, access to advanced academic research and development laboratories and advancedacademic programs in engineering is critical to success.Because of the need to further develop the high-tech economy, and with support from localindustry and the state government, three doctoral programs were developed over the last tenyears.

Therefore, multiple newmachines including a Mendelmax and Prusa Mendel were built to utilize in the class. Since theSLA Viper machine was replaced with a Projet 1200, the old but comprehensive software tool of3D Lightyear had to be replaced with new tools used for both processing of the STL files andprinting. These new tools are easier to use but not as comprehensive as the old ones. Thus, a low-cost software
