Thefirst is the obvious benefit of a liberal arts education to the engineering student [15]. Whileadvances in knowledge and technology are creating excitement in science and engineeringeducation, tomorrow’s engineer must also be able to write and communicate well; considerethics and social responsibilities; understand business; and live and work in teams as a globalcitizen. They must be able to think critically and problem-solve. The faculty of RMC pridesitself on producing graduates with all of these so-called “soft skills” as well as the breadth ofknowledge obtained by completing a large General Education

Sustainable engineering refers to “practices that promote environmental, social andeconomic sustainability through greater resource efficiency, reduced pollution and considerationof the wider social impacts of new technologies, processes and practices” [2], [10]. Sustainableengineering highlights natural resource preservations, eco-efficient solutions that support naturalenvironments. Engineering education for sustainable development (EESD), in contrast, not onlyincludes the environmental aspect, but also focuses on the teaching of technical, economic, andsocial aspects of development, and in our discussions, is framed by all 17 of the UN SDGs.

Design of Low-Cost 3D Printer The design of a low cost 3D printer was a collaborative project between a freshman levelmechanical engineering graphics class and GUBotDev7. GUBotDev, short for the GannonUniversity Robotic Development Group, produced an initial “rough” prototype of the low-cost3D printer by using off-the-shelf and fabricated components. The printer was too expensive andunreliable to be used for outreach purposes. GUBotDev is a student group formed in 2014 at Gannon University focused on STEMoutreach.

ExperiencePurposeThe national effort to remain a leader in scientific exploration and technological developmenthas redoubled educational efforts to not only introduce students to the field of engineering atyounger and younger grade levels, but also to place more effort on retaining the students whoultimately choose engineering as a career path. As a result, more institutions are placing a highervalue on first-year engineering introductory courses, a key component of retention at theundergraduate level [1].However, with engineering being an incredibly broad field, there is relatively little agreementfrom institution to institution, and often from department to department within the same college,on the content and skills to address in a first-year course [2, 3
