we hope to apply when we approach similarprojects in the future. The most important one is to allow for more time within the projectschedule for assessment and measurement. In addition, we need to be more attentive to datacollection and creating better ways to have more objective evaluations of the work.Based on the results and, now, better understanding of this integration, we believe there is astrong potential to use the soft skills modules (possibly with adjustments/adaptation) in ourengineering department’s curriculum including its manufacturing engineering program. We seegreat potential to benefit the students and better prepare them for their careers as engineers. Thisis one of our near-future goals to achieve. In addition, beyond this

educational institutions to incorporate this technology intotheir curriculum. This ensures that students are adequately prepared with the skills and knowledgeneeded for future career opportunities. One crucial task is to teach students how to use moderntechnology to evaluate the quality of AM parts because AM has not reached the point of competingwith traditional manufacturing in terms of surface finish and repeatability. Moreover, the printedparts are often treated as black boxes with invisible defects, such as pores and cracks. Such non-transparency significantly challenges the qualification and certification of additively manufacturedparts. In this paper, we present a semester-long project designed for a new AM course offered atUniversity A to
