Inculcating AM education at the undergraduate, graduate,and professional levels could be a thought catalyst for engineering majors from diversebackgrounds and enable collaboration within different engineering sciences. The purpose of thispaper is to review literature surrounding of additive manufacturing education, with particularfocus on graduate education as a venue to educate a specialized expert workforce. Further, weidentify several key areas where foundational engineering education research can help to highlightand shape AM as an emergent field, including opportunities for learning science, online education,and workforce development; the development of interdisciplinary and agile expertise; andconsidering belongingness

In addition, the GTAsreflected on their teaching practices and experiences to improve student learning. Thisallowed the GTAs to collaboratively analyze their implemented teaching methodologieswith their peers.
