One of the major focuses of this course design wasto integrate the design and manufacturing of parts for 3D printing applications. Throughout thesemester, students had the opportunity to learn the full spectrum of the typical material extrusionAM process by learning design in Fusion 360 software, relevant 3D printing slicing software,and manufacturing using desktop scale 3D printers that are available at AM lab. A summativeapproach was employed to measure the learning outcomes. At the end of the semester, themeasurement results

Thiswould not only allow us to meet the growing demand for engineers in West Michigan, but itwould be well aligned with our program’s student-centric focus. To prepare the students for thegraduate-level engineering work, an exhaustive list of prerequisite undergraduate classes thatstudents must take has been approved. While each applicant’s curriculum is tailored, GVSU’sSchool of Engineering developed a general plan to onboard students from a variety of non-engineering undergraduate backgrounds. Applicants are granted conditional admission to thegraduate program predicated on completing the prerequisite classes with a B or better grade.These plans allow the

This study entailsrandomizing half of each cohort to participate in USTEM without CVPs (USTEM1) and the otherhalf to participate in USTEM with CVPs (USTEM2). USTEM2 participants produce four CVPs:1) a biography of a STEM scientist, 2) a position statement on a STEM controversy, 3) a tutorialon a STEM topic, and 4) a critique of a STEM peer-reviewed
