The complexity comes from difficult functionalrequirements, and from demanding non-functional requirements, such as very high availability,user friendliness, fast performance, and challenging security requirements24.We are reaching thepoint of not being able to manage, design and develop our systems.

This curriculum may be considered ideal for a design and manufacturing-orientedprogram. It was developed with comprehensive resource support through grants from the NationalScience Foundation (NSF), Sandia National Laboratories, and the federal Technology ReinvestmentProgram. The Learning Factory model was considered well-conceived and successful, as evidencedby its implementation in the engineering curricula of a number of

These seven types of AM processes are VatPhotopolymerization, Material Jetting, Binder Jetting, Material Extrusion, Powder Bed Fusion,Sheet Lamination, and Direct Energy Deposition.2Since its inception, AM has been used as a tool to facilitate engineering education and as afocused topic within design education. More recently, AM has become the central topic ofindividual courses within both engineering and engineering technology programs.As a

It is, therefore, imperative to implement effective learning methodologies to enhanceeducation in engineering. Nanomaterials and related manufacturing technology with themultidisciplinary nature are viewed as important areas in engineering filed. Universities shouldprovide students in-depth knowledge and opportunities and allow them to practicemultidisciplinary concepts and team working. The cooperative learning setting may allowstudents to enjoy unique learning experience. Since the
