manufacturing reflects a desire for more human-centric,environmentally conscious, and community-oriented approaches in response to the social andenvironmental impacts of large-scale industrialization [5, 6]. Additive Manufacturing (AM) emerged in the 1980s as a revolutionary technology for creatingobjects layer by layer from digital models. Its roots trace back to stereolithography invented byChuck Hull in 1983. The 1990s witnessed the expansion of AM applications into variousindustries. As patents expired, technology became more accessible, fostering innovation. By the2000s, diverse materials and techniques emerged, enhancing AM's capabilities. Today, it plays acrucial role in rapid prototyping, custom manufacturing, and even aerospace applications

Ourrespective backgrounds and strengths have allowed us to develop novel assessments of engineeringlearning, while also unlocking large populations for future psychosocial research. When reflecting on thissynergistic collaboration, we realized that our interdisciplinary collaboration is relatively unique and islargely absent among our early career faculty peers.

time a student is taught to use a model for asystem in the Laplace Domain only, they lose the fact that the controller designed will not workover the whole range of the input constraints. In fact, that is more a rarity than the norm. Transferfunctions for lime kilns, cardiac arrest patients, reactive etchers, etc. do not hold for the range ofinputs outlined in final projects given to students[8]. Representing a nonlinear multivariableprocess by a matrix of transfer functions leads to real repercussions for students that think theseare at least close to accurate models that reflect a dynamic range of responses over the inputconstraints. And instead end up with a system that a single controller can regulate. There are nooperating regions

This result is reflected in prior work whose results suggest that the long-term impacts ofproject-based learning in STEM transcend traditional learning outcomes to also includeprofessional advancement and friendships [60]. Further, authors demonstrate that students’exposure to collaborative assignments are a significant, positive predictor of their persistence inCS [26]. Interestingly, however, the more recent work of Lehman et al.

Also, returning to theidea that the domains are connected is reflected in the fact that many of studies found focus on twodomains at a time instead of only one domain at a time [4-7], [14-19]. Several studies exist thatresearch the domains, but they focus on testing a specific class within engineering or non-engineering majors [4-6], [9], [14-16], [18], [20]. Similarly, the studies that focus on math orchemistry classes may not have tested solely engineering students, which could still distort or skewresults towards conclusions that may not apply to engineering students overall [4-5], [21].
