This challenge tests the students’ abilities to create a wheel with the lowest angular acceleration α. The students’ designs are printed and tested to extract the angular acceleration from laser measured rotation. Learning Objectives: (a) Create a 3D model via CAD software, (b) Export model as a STL file for printing, (c) Develop STL file into .gcode via slicing software, (d) Estimate angular acceleration from experimental data.

GenderWomen have different experiences than men in engineering, and therefore an effort has beenmade to study gender specifically within engineering [9]. Women and men tend to leave theirinstitutions at different rates and their academic success is part of their decision process whenexperiencing changes in their GPA whether to switch majors or leave the institution altogether[10].
