A questionnaire developed and administered to measure students’ perspective oninexpensive 3D printing technologies shows positive preliminary results but it should be furtherimproved/changed (to measure student learning outcomes directly) and administered to a largernumber of students (to allow statistical analysis).

In agreement withthis, Saw and Agger [41] found that high schools in rural and small-town settings have less APmath and science class; have less math and science fairs; are less likely to sponsor after schoolprograms; and are less likely to inform students about extracurricular math and scienceprograms. Students attending rural high school, then, tend to have less opportunities to engage inSTEM-related activities, and therefore, lower STEM participation.Conceptual Framework We draw on Main et al.’s [42] conceptual framework on the factors associated withengineering major choice across life stages to inform this study.

Engineering Materials Classes at PurdueThe School of Civil Engineering at Purdue University has long been dedicated to teachingstudents about engineering materials. This dedication began in 1883 with a laboratory for testingmaterials in the college of engineering [1]. In 1899, this lab was moved to the school of civilengineering and eventually became the foundation for CE 231 – Engineering Materials I and CE331 – Engineering Materials II.
