As most of the AM parts are built layer by layer, it isclear that parts manufactured from AM processes would perform differently compared toparts manufactured from conventional processes such as casting and injection molding. Sincestudents often rely on AM for part fabrication in courses and capstone projects, and industriescould adopt AM to produce components for their products, there is a

When compared to more tangible rewardofferings in a professional setting such as promotions, bonuses, and additional vacation time, thefact that contingent reward behaviors load quite strongly with the MLQ’s transformationalbehaviors is not surprising. This conceptual understanding of the leadership phenomenon,corroborated by early works in the theory indicate that this scale may be measuring leadershipbehaviors consistent with the experiences of student mechanical engineers in a capstone setting.Next, the passive-avoidant/laissez-faire scale developed departs from the current construct of theMLQ Form 5X but is consistent with

At the17 institutions surveyed, it would be beneficial for departments to see where their students saidthey were influenced and compare that to where they thought they were affecting student views.Departments could assess if the first-year or capstone projects were influencing the ethicaldevelopment that they expect. Possible single time interventions on ethical or professionalresponsibility are not enough to provide lasting impressions on students such that they wouldhighlight that course years later.

The assessment for this project is the year-long Mechanical Engineering (ME)senior capstone design course. In the senior design course, students give midway and finaldesign presentations, which are open to the public.

and university engineering curricula in the US have been following similartrajectories for some time. In the early 1900’s, engineering was treated more as a ‘trade’ at theuniversity level, and high schools encouraged vocational studies, including auto repair, woodshop, metalworking, cosmetology and other ‘trades’ to the non-college bound. Between 1935and 1965, most university engineering curriculum moved away from a trade-school curriculumto a more theoretical, mathematically-intensive one, delaying any hands-on design projects untilthe senior or ‘capstone’ design course 11.Similarly, the nation’s high schools tried to erase the division between the trades and the college-preparatory tracks to prepare anyone who might be inclined to attend a
