The HPL teaching framework presents the learning material as a series ofchallenges that are posed through a “Legacy Cycle.” Three VANTH modules, covering sevenchallenges, were tested in an undergraduate Mechanical Engineering course in Fall 2003. Theclass (N=32) was divided into two groups, control and trial, based on a random assignment.The control group performed the challenge in a traditional way (pencil and paper) while thetrial group solved the challenge using the VaNTH material located at a website. For eachgroup, a pre-test, post-test, and affect ranking were administered. The students were alsosurveyed on the learning effectiveness of the various components of each

Implicit also is that placement inthe rankings is indicative of quality. This paper provides an overview of the methodologies usedfor the more popular rankings and summarizes their strengths and weaknesses. It examines thecritiques of rankings and league tables to provide appropriate context. The paper then examinesthe issue of how a university (or a college or program) could be assessed in terms of the qualityof its engineering and technology programs.

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.

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. Any term projects which are given in typical classes are usuallyvery
