First, the NSF I-Corpsprogram [4] applies customer discovery to assist with the translation of lab-developedtechnology into commercializable products and services. Such programs offer entrepreneurialtraining, yet these programs external to the university that focus on impactful communication areoften difficult to obtain. Furthermore, their intended participant is generally someone with thetime allotted by their position to produce academically competitive applications, such asgraduate researchers and research-oriented professors.

When aligned with instructional goals, student-created stories capture their attention andemotional interests while providing instructors a concrete and memorable insight into theirstudents’ learning [2, 3]. Stories also facilitate student learning through engagement, higher orderthinking, and elaboration [4, 5]. Besides using the stories to promote technological literacy [6],stories help students make meaning of their own experiences, building self-awareness

While basic 3DP skills can be obtained through a few hours of training, the basictraining is insufficient to ensure effective teaching Engineering Design Process (EDP) at the highschool level. To address this problem, this project develops an EDP course tightly integrated with3DP for preservice teachers (PST) who are going to enter the workforce in high schools.Engineering design process (EDP) has become an essential part for preservice teachers (PST),especially for high school STEM. 3DP brought transformative change to EDP which is an iterativeprocess that needs virtual/physical prototyping.

to attempt to solve the problem. To addressthis hesitancy, the first problem set is completed together and graded for participation.In Week 1, the simple series circuit shown in Figure 1 is introduced. The circuit is a model forthe VAWT. The main components of the VAWT are the magnets attached to a rotor and the wirecoils in the stationary base. As wind is caught in the blades, the rotor spins the magnets therebyapplying a changing magnetic field to the coils. The circuit is a simplification showing how thepeak generator voltage and therefore, the peak load voltage and dissipated power, can bepredicted.The problem is solved in steps, beginning with the dimensions and units for resistance, current,voltage, and power.
