laser power have most significant effect on the density of the fabricated parts Wanget al. (2016).To improve quality characteristics of fabricated parts and the economy of the process, DMLS hybridmilling (DMLS-HM) was introduced. In DMLS-HM process, an end mill with very high spindle speedand high feeding rate is incorporated with the laser sintering to attain high-precision machining. Thesintering and milling of the part is repeated to build from bottom to top layers of a complex part shape.Compared to conventional DMLS, there is limited study on the evaluation of mechanical properties ofparts fabricated with DMSL-HM process. This research project is aimed at characterizing non-agedMaraging steel 300 (MS 300) parts fabricated with DMLS-HM

Students understood that growth mindset was not an all or nothingswitch to be flipped.These findings are useful for educators interested in promoting productive beliefs about thenature of intelligence. Future work in this area will include an exploration of how these beliefschange over the undergraduate experience and the development of concrete strategies forstudents to begin to implement growth mindset within an engineering education context.BackgroundThe National Academy of Engineering provides us with a particular vision for the Engineer of2020, and these students will be graduating in just a few short years.

Parker [15] describes a liaising model of informationfluency instruction in which a librarian participates in teaching six class sessions, assessesstudent assignments, and assists with assignment and curriculum development. For a groupdesign project, Roberts and Bhatt [16] used a combination of online tutorials and a required one-on-one consultation with a librarian. In addition, students were provided with library hostedwebpages about engineering research. Instructors noted general improvement in the quality ofinformation sources. Students responded well to the presence of the library instruction with 75%of students responding that the online tutorial was helpful and 72% of students responding thatthe

Olin College of Engineering Jon Stolk strives to design and facilitate extraordinary learning experiences. He creates project-based and interdisciplinary courses and programs that invite students to take control of their learning, grapple with complex systems, engage with each other and the world in new ways, and emerge as confident, agile, self-directed learners. Stolk’s research aims to understand how students experience different classroom settings, particularly with regard to how

Participants at WPI had significantly higher gains in science interest than thePEAR national database of informal science programs. These results indicate that informal,project-based, collaborative science programs have the potential to affect relationships withadults and peers. Additionally, critical thinking and perseverance are impacted through project-based learning. While not reaching a level of statistical significance, outcomes for theparticipants in a single gender environment resulted in outcomes that were more positive forgirls. These results make a case for further research on single gender informal

The design process is also complicated bythe safety, practicality and cost constraints. In light of these challenges, the engineering educationneeds to maintain its focus on principles of engineering design that can effectively prepareengineering graduates to meet the challenges posed by rapid technological growth in engineeringand manufacturing technologies. The effectiveness of engineering education in modeling anddesign courses, traditionally, is measured through quizzes, exams and course projects that areaimed at measuring level of developed skills.
