Engineering Education, 2024 Engineering Research Experience via Exploring Mechanical Anisotropy of 3D-printed StructuresAbstract3D-printing, an additive manufacturing method, involves layer-by-layer deposition of materials.Unlike conventionally manufactured materials, the mechanical strength of 3D-printed structuresis highly dependent on the printing orientation due to the weak interface between depositedlayers. Two five-week long summer research projects were designed and implemented to exploremechanical anisotropy, engaging teams of undergraduate mechanical engineering students atdifferent stages of their college degree with diverse technical maturity. Research teams weretasked with providing 3D-printing design guidance to

it to engage in an additional practice attempt, whichsignificantly limits the efficacy of the feedback received.The biggest issue with lecture-style teaching is in the area of realistic expectations, whereknowledge is given during lectures and assignments are given in a way that suggests that studentsshould have gained the necessary skills to complete the assignments by purely listening to thelecture. This can create an unrealistic expectation for students, suggesting that they should possessskills without taking the time to develop them.Another major issue with lecture-style teaching comes in the area of a supportive environment,where feedback is given to students after the course has already moved on to new materials. Thiscreates a

Teaching of Finite ElementAnalysis CoursesAbstractThis study investigates the optimal combination of learning materials and teaching methods for aFinite Element Analysis (FEA) course within the Mechanical Engineering Program at SUNY NewPaltz, New York. The challenge lies in balancing the teaching of FEA's mathematical theory andhand calculations, guiding students through basic FEA model programming, and training them inthe use of commercial FEA software. Through student surveys, the study evaluates theeffectiveness of various learning materials and pedagogical approaches. Findings indicate thatwhile students recognize the importance of understanding the theoretical foundations of FEA, thecomplex mathematics involved presents significant challenges

the need for universities to integrate CCE intoall disciplines, not just climate science, to achieve the required decarbonization on a large scale.The chapter also discusses the importance of integrating climate change adaptation educationinto university curricula to prepare students for the impacts of climate change. Finally, thechapter examines how CCE can be embedded into various disciplines, such as agriculture,biology, business, and psychology, and concludes with strategies for scaling up CCE on aninstitutional, national, and international level.Linow [10] argues that mechanical engineering education needs to be updated to include climatechange concepts. It suggests that thermodynamics and fluid dynamics courses can be adapted

Integrated Faceplate Dog is a device designed at SUNY Farmingdale which is asafer, simpler, and easier to use alternative to the traditional combination of tools used toturn work between centers on a lathe. The typical drive plate/faceplate and lathe dog arereimagined by combining both pieces into one smaller and lighter piece that easily fits thestock material to be machined. Setup and teardown are streamlined. This tool is designedfor use in various student projects that utilize the lathe in the MET117: ManufacturingProcesses course in the Mechanical Engineering Technology Department at SUNYFarmingdale. Any other courses or programs utilizing the lathe could benefit from the useof I.F.D.The I.F.D. also serves another educational purpose: it
