Hiringcompanies directly benefit, as these programs provide industry relevant experiences andknowledge that significantly reduce the training development time and costs to provide similarexperiences in-house. This model has worked well for decades but is challenged by rapidtechnical advances, reduced academic funding, and an expanding impetus to maintainaffordability in undergraduate education.This confluence of factors has the potential to impact the ability of universities to keep facilitiesat a state representative of current industry practice, possibly resulting in a transition towardsimulation-based experiences and a reduction in equipment-based experiences

For such qualitative data, the course designer may wish to lookfor themes represented in the wording, rather than the trends we see in discrete data. If thisproves difficult, the use of grounded theory20 can help to elicit themes out of such attribute data.Validate the analysis The research data collected from an artifact analysis looks to obtain an objectiveperspective on course content, but does not necessarily provide an authentic look at the day-to-day practices in the classroom.

, 3D printers are well maintained, frequentlycalibrated, and quickly repaired as needed. Before printing, each new design is critiqued and pre-processed with the help of a technician. Here, technicians instruct students about best practices in“printability” and position/orientation of parts to be printed. During printing, students arerequired to oversee the process for the first few layers to make sure the plastic adheres well to theprinting platform. Then, the technicians are required to observe parts for the rest of the time asthey are printed. This allows early detection of failed prints thus minimizing the amount ofwasted material and time. In some cases (proven designs) long jobs are allowed to run overnight.Removal of finished objects

To increase participation in volunteer activities many universities have adopted mandatoryapproaches such as including community service hours in graduation requirements. However,research has shown mandatory volunteer work impedes long-term and impactful servicelearning; instead, voluntary approaches to increase community service for college campuses aremore effective at creating an enriching service learning experience (Stukas et al. 1999).

On the contrary, informed designers typically practice idea fluency, in which they usebrainstorming and divergent thinking to ensure they are working with many ideas.
