However, 3D printing-based curriculums are seldom integrated intoconstruction management education, due to which graduating students are unprepared for theevolving construction job market.There are several applications of 3D printing in an academic setting that includes: (1) to produceartifacts that aid learning materials; (2) to create assistive technologies; (3) to teach studentsabout how 3D printing technologies work; (4) to teach instructors about 3D printingtechnologies; (5) to use it as a support technology during teaching; and (6) to support outreachactivities [9].

In the integrated approach, all of these skills are coveredprogressively in a series of courses. Examples of the integrated approach are those at theVirginia Tech's Materials Science and Engineering Department3 and the University ofQueensland’s Project Centred Curriculum in Chemical Engineering for the third and fourthyear students4.The communication skills course in our program is a stand-alone class, nevertheless, it hasbeen developed as part of our effort to

If faculty cannot makethe connections across courses, it will be difficult to transfer knowledge, behavior and attitudesacross the curriculum [19]. Second, to properly recast each outcome into measurabledescriptions that will result in usable assessment results requires sufficient expertise, resources,and time.

With an emphasis on standards-based education and increasedteacher accountability, one of the concerns that we most often hear from teachers is thatnanoscience material doesn’t fit into the existing courses that they teach, and they do not havetime in the school year to add new, innovative materials to their classes. Therefore, it isimportant to understand where teachers believe nano can fit into what they already teach. Acrossthe board, this seems to be a priority for the majority of teachers. Compiling information abouthow teachers connect nano to their existing curricula will allow us to provide new ideas to ourparticipants about integrating NSET content, and may also

I don't believe that's the correct approach.There is a variety of ways that can (and should, in my opinion) be used to cover theseskills in a traditional engineering curriculum. One alternative is as part of an introductoryengineering course for freshman. Many schools have decided to move some designactivities down into the freshman year courses. Design activities (at the freshman or evenat the level of the senior capstone course) provide an ideal vehicle to insert this materialinto the curriculum.
