Issues include raising awareness among faculty mentors from different subject areasabout potential project areas; addressing nuclear specific codes and standards; and challengeswhen working across disciplines in project funding, the student team formation process, studentcredit hours granted, and workload allocation for faculty advisors to the projects

Printing to Enhance Learning in Undergraduate Kinematic and Dynamic of Machinery CourseAbstractThis paper presents the application of 3D printing to enhance the learning of undergraduatestudents about the mechanisms (linkage, Cam-Follower) on Kinematic and Dynamic ofMachinery course. In this course, students will learn how a mechanical mechanism, includinglinkage and cam-follower mechanism, is working. They will learn how to analyze a mechanismor synthesis of a mechanism to provide a specified task. To enhance their understanding aboutthe mechanism, the project was designed by the instructor for this course. The project has threephases. On phase I, each group, consisting of 4 to 5 students, should select a mechanism todesign. They design the
