facilitation tool, AM can be thought of as another piece of laboratory equipment that allowsstudents to explore engineering topics without the constraints that may be imposed by the use ofother manufacturing processes. In these cases the AM capability is simply a tool that can savestudents time and effort and allow more focus on other course content; however, in the processof making the part, the students may learn little or nothing about the AM process. Often all thestudents may know or care about is that they can send a CAD file of a desired part to the AMmachine and within a day or so, they are holding the part in their hands. Examples of utilizingAM as a facilitation tool include the fabrication of wind tunnel test models,3,4 parts for

parameter itself, along with the measurement techniques,are not naturally occurring but socially-constructed. Statistically sound measurements requirethat one eliminate all known sources of variation so that one can mathematically verifycorrelations between variables that can be manipulated and the response to those variables (lackof diversity). In other words, objectivist science seeks to reduce variation to a set of controllableconditions. What is often overlooked in reductionist, objectivist science is that the state of naturerarely mimics laboratory conditions, where all influential sources of variation are eliminated.This is particularly true when one is working in a complex, dynamic social system that includeshuman beings.Within STEM cultures
