GUBotDev (i.e., Gannon University Robotic Development Group) produced an initial “rough” prototype of the low-cost 3D printer by using off-the- shelf and fabricated components. The printer, however, was too expensive and unreliable to be used for outreach purposes. As a result of inter-departmental collaboration between the first-year graphics team, the electrical engineering department, and GuBotDev, a new low-cost 3D printer was developed. b.

Brayton CycleThe solver developed for this gas-power cycle is only good for a limited number of problems,when the compressor’s pressure ratio and the maximum temperature in the cycle are known.Such problems, like several textbook problems, ask students to identify the temperature andpressure values across the thermodynamic cycle, and to calculate the net work and the thermalefficiency of the cycle. More work needs to be done to enlarge the applicability of this solver.Figure 7 a) and b) shows the simple Excel solver and the associated GUI interface.The results show the heat in and out, and the net work, in units of Btu/lbm, and the thermalefficiency of the cycle.Future work for Brayton will cover the expansion of the solver to incorporate real
