, numerical simulation has become a tool as important as observation, theory, andexperimentation to all engineering and science disciplines. In most cases, it is adopted more often thanexperimentation because it is more economic, less time-consuming, and able to explore infeasiblesituations. [1][2] Without doubts, numerical simulation should be included by engineering education.Numerical simulation depends on high performance computers to solve large scale problems oreffectively improve accuracy of results because they surpass the computing power of uniprocessorcomputer system. High performance computers refer to parallel computers, namely computers equippedwith multiple processors. [3][19][20][22] Although parallel computers are capable to execute

A proper print temperature ensures a goodflow of material through the nozzle, reduces nozzle clogs, and improves layer adhesion. Buildplate (bed) temperature affects the layer adhesion of the printing material. Print speed affects theprinting time, quality, and layer adhesion. Too high or low of a print speed can cause prints to fail.Figure 13 – Print settings for Figure 8 and Figure 10 in Ultimaker Cura 5.3.0.

For starters, academia isexpected to provide basic technical standards education rather than supplement the trainingprovided in industry co-ops and internships [4]. Educators struggle to provide technical standardseducation due to the overloaded higher-education curriculum [2] and the need to customizeexisting content for discipline-specific courses [5]. Much of this burden (including themaintenance, purchasing, and education of technical standards) falls on academic librarians whoare in short supply. Little to no attention is given to educating graduate students on technicalstandards [2]. Due to these known challenges, efforts have been made on behalf of

Moreover, armed with insights from student responses to reflectionactivities, educators may be able to do things such as better attune to areas of student confusionand adjust their teaching style to help improve students’ understanding of course material.However, there is little data on how students experience reflection activities and even less dataon how educators perceive such activities.

course of theircareers. For this reason, we now turn our attention to the literature on engineers’ career paths.Part 2: Engineers’ career pathsMost studies on engineers’ career paths are premised on a dual track model attributed to humanresource managers in the 1950s who were motivated to institutionalize a technical incentivestructure to improve the retention of high performing engineers [2, 4-6, 43, 44]. Stated simply,this model proposes that engineers can either: 1) ascend a traditional management hierarchy,gaining authority over larger numbers of employees with each step (management ladder), or 2)move through successive technical titles associated with salary increases, higher status, greaterresponsibility, and increased autonomy (technical
