AbstractCasting is one of the oldest manufacturing processes. 3D Printing is known as one of the newesttechnologies used in the manufacturing field, and it is almost thirty years old. Although bothtechnologies are commonly used in various fields of industry and daily life, this research studyreports a unique implementation of both technologies in a new entrepreneurial environment. Theentire study had been performed in Summer 2016 as part of the Research Experiences forTeachers (RET) Supplement of a National Science foundation (NSF) funded project. In tenweeks of extensive design, 3D Printing, and casting studies, several best practices between theP16 educators and students have been established. As a

After characterizing the impact of mapping one gate at a time on the adderperformance, multiple gate LUT mapping was performed. For multiple gate LUT mapping, thegates were selected using three algorithms: independent selection, dependent selection, andparametric-aware dependent selection.

The approach is being promoted through semester-long faculty workshops and then through a semester of supported implementation of faculty classroom innovations. Changes in faculty beliefs and classroom practice should positively im- pact student performance and retention. He was a coauthor for the best paper award at the FIE convention in 2009 and the
