The advent of 3D solid modeling and 3D printing hasreduced the cost of incorporating hands-on education to mechanical engineering classes forplastic components but has little application to metals commonly used in engineering design.This paper presents the use of a RapidCast process for a Mechanics of Materials class project toenable the design and testing of custom metal parts. The RapidCast process’ adaptation oftraditional casting techniques which replaces wax or foam with a plastic 3D printed model allowscomplex shapes to be designed, produced, and tested in a matter of days as a demonstrationtechnique. This class project concept has been refined over several semesters to the currentprocess where students are tasked to design, 3D

Efforts made by the Consortium to PromoteReflection in Engineering Education (CPREE) have drawn attention to how reflection is used inthe engineering curriculum. What is unknown is whether students recognize why their coursesembed reflection activities. The following paper assessed student conceptions of what it means toreflect and why they are asked to reflect in their project-based design courses. Our intended goalwas to see if students understood what reflection is and appreciate reflection as a lifelong skillrather
