Preliminary findings revealed challenges to the use of this instrument ina first-year engineering laboratory course taught by graduate teaching assistants.

For the past six years, he has worked in the civil engineering profession as a Designer/Draftsman. He has worked closely with civil, environmental, and structural engineers on a daily basis; for him, becoming a Civil Engineer was his next logical career progression. Over the past few years, he has come to realize that he is limiting his potential by remaining a simple Draftsman. He has slowly, over time, developed his mind to work in a critical thinking environment, much like a Civil Engineer must do every day. He has become familiar with civil engineering, and engineering in gen- eral

With these facts in mind, the K-12 outreach teachingproject entitled “Body by Design” was developed as a central portion of an upper divisiontechnical elective course cross-listed between mechanical engineering and bioengineering.Structural Aspects of Biomaterials has been taught for nearly a decade and in this timeframe, thecourse has evolved from a survey course to a course with emphasis on project-based learning,interdisciplinary problems, teamwork, and outreach teaching.

Students are presented with problems that complement their course of study whichthey are then allowed to interactively solve while being provided with information on whethertheir answer is correct on a step-by-step basis as they go along. This method of interaction allowsstudents to work at their own pace while helping them fully understand fundamental principles indigital logic design.

What does this mean? The phase advanceis the result of our minds anticipating. We begin executing the turn before the car crosses thecenter line. To make the software-based controller work, students must incorporate that sametype of anticipation. All of them figure it out, some with a little help.It has been our experience that engineering students like to build things. They like to tinker. Theylike to figure out how to make things work.

Not only did this workshop introduce me to using 3D-printing inresearch and teaching, it brought me together with a group well-versed in engineering education. I learnedabout the failure-positive maker mindset and attitude, adaptive expertise and behavior, and how to helpfoster to a growth mindset. I was primed to mentor entrepreneurial-minded engineering students. Andthen they came.In the August and September of my third year, two undergraduates e
