One example of this trend is Engineers Without Borders (EWB),which provides students hands-on field experience through sustainable engineering projects. [1].EWB's experiential learning program is based on the principle of direct experience and reflection,which effectively develops the skills necessary for engineering practice, including problem-solving, teamwork, and leadership

First appearing in its most recognizable form in work by Wigdahlas the idea of “curricular efficiency” [1], Heileman et al.

interventions to improve engineering students'experience.1. IntroductionEngineering equips students with the ability to use their mathematical and scientific principles tobuild models of real-world systems and to simulate their behavior which allows them tounderstand complex phenomena, innovate around them, and even make predictions. Modelingand simulation then becomes a fundamental skill set across engineering disciplines. Multiplecalls have been made for increased incorporation of modeling and simulation in science andengineering classrooms [1], [2]. Clark and Ernst [3] further emphasize that by having coursesthat link science and mathematics to technology through the development of both computationand physical models, STEM content integration can

Oxford defines art as “the expression or application of humancreative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producingworks to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power [1].” One might simplifyand suggest that art is a process led by the human mind that

Previous research indicates thatstudents majoring in subjects that are not programming-heavy might think they will not need these skillsin their careers, or they are less capable [1]. However, both students and professionals across differentengineering disciplines commonly accept that diversifying one's skill set makes one more marketableand favorably positioned for career advancement [2][3]. Additionally, studies suggest that materialsscience and engineering (MSE) faculty favor incorporating computational tools into their teaching andthink that computation is an essential component of the curriculum [4].

The approach is to dissect a 3D printer’s hardware,explain each component’s function, introduce each component’s manufacturing methods, describepossible defects, and elucidate what works and what does not. This has at least four benefits: 1)PSTs will know what is possibly wrong when a printer or printing process fails, 2) PSTs will learnmore manufacturing processes besides 3DP that can be used to support engineering designprototyping, 3) PSTs will know how to design something that can meet the manufacturingconstraints, i.e., can be actually fabricated, and 4) reduce errors and frustrations caused by faileddesign and failed prints which happen frequently to novices

motivationAerospace engineering is not exempt from its social responsibility, as is seen through the issuesof space resource mining, orbital debris pollution, the military-industrial complex, space tourism,and space territorialization. Current engineering education not only disconnects students fromtheir social influence as practicing engineers but perpetuates injustices by denying theirdestructive effects within a supposedly meritocratic culture [1]. Only focusing on the technicalcomponents of an engineering role assumes that the social responsibility lies with others in theirfield, for example people in leadership positions or activists. However, if within aerospaceengineering everyone assumes others hold the responsibility then no one believes they hold
