Thus, though photosculpture was dismissed as beingunable to truly capture aesthetic “beauty” or creative “genius”—fundamental properties ofartistic mastery—3D printing needs only to afford the ability to be “more creative.” In an oddway, the rhetoric of 3D printing, particularly its ability to further galvanize a burgeoning popularcreative movement, may be successful because of its lack of the ontological burden of art. Inother words, because 3D printing does not have to strive to be art, it is free to do educational andcritical work beyond art. We draw out some of the implications of this comparative history fortechnological literacies—both in terms of public engagement with technology and in

This program adoptedthe philosophy of providing an integrated experience for the student from the commencement ofstudy.As the concept of a degree-completion program developed, we realized students would normallynot begin taking courses at The University of Toledo until the coursework in the associate degreeprogram was nearly complete. In this situation, students enrolled in the Degree CompletionProgram would not have contact with the University until the third year of study. Withoutperiodic contact, students and the program would be at risk. As a result, students are duallyadmitted to the Community College and the University. This provides a method of

Over 50% ofAmericans do not know how to swim and 61% of American children cannot swim [6, 7].Improving and further integrating swimming safety with education is thus of vital importance.With the rising popularity of water resistant smartwatches, we hope to explore ways to improveswimming techniques and reduce the impact of poor swimming skills on drowning.Water competency is difficult to define, and its very definition has changed in recent years.

curriculum.To understand why it is so important, consider the characteristics of typical undergraduate courses. Mostcourses, by necessity, focus on a narrow technical subject (e.g., electronics, electromagnetic,communications). Homework assignments generally ask specific technical questions, which have one solution,and which only take from a few minutes to an hour to solve. If students are not able to answer a problem in thatlength of time, they move on to other problems, since they usually have many problems to solve. They neverget a chance to learn that some problems take weeks to solve, and they never develop the confidence that if theyspend the time, they can solve the problem.

Such a course is typically supported by a comprehensive reference text such asFoster.1 On-line GD&T courses are also available.2A logical place to introduce GD&T is in a first-year design graphics course.
