In this project,the Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) 3D printing technique was used for the fabrication ofbone scaffold models using various polymer and biopolymer filaments. Polymer scaffolds(1×1×1 cm3 cubes) with different infill geometries and densities were fabricated. The mechanicalproperties of these scaffolds were

However, students often lack theproper experience or training to deal with complex ethical, cultural, or societal situations thatwill likely be encountered or the resources to properly participate while carrying out service-learning projects [1].Numerous studies have been conducted to investigate the impact of various pedagogical andcurricular approaches on the transfer of knowledge in ethics and social justice in STEMdisciplines, often with disappointing results [2]–[5].

Aliyu7 noted thathydropower plants could not be relied upon. He stated that the oscillatory nature of energy outputfrom hydropower plants (mainly due to seasonal changes) and the negative impacts experienceddue to climate change are decreasing the water levels required to run the hydropower plants. Thedilapidated state of the hydropower infrastructure also reduces significantly their energy outputwhen compared to their projected capacity. The thermal plants utilize mostly natural gas as feedfuel and the lack of adequate natural gas

We used a uniform manifoldapproximation and projection (UMAP) algorithm [50] to reduce the data to a two-dimensionalembedding space.
