Well- designed, coherent tracks seem to be a better option than just a large basket of elective courses. 4. More practical content Providing practical hands-on experiences, active discovery-based learning, and realistic problem-solving and design experiences are admirable goals, but very resource intensive. Such activities require small class sizes and increased numbers and skills in the faculty. They also require a great deal of space and equipment to be realistic. Many BSME Proceedings of the 2011

This includes showing an openness toconnect with students and identifying potential and not just working with students who come toengineering school with long-held interest and preparation for engineering [13].An American Association of University Women’s study notes that in the most scientific fields(including engineering and computing), men held much stronger science-male implicit biasesthan women did. An additional reason that the undergraduate engineering experience may beturning women away from engineering is a lack of

Layer by layer, as fine as 0.125mm (0.005") thick, a composite structure of plastic is created to become any 3D shape that canbe modeled on a computer.The initial purpose of 3D printing was for visual prototypes before mass production, butrecently it is being used as a production technique for complex shaped products2. Production ofcomplex parts with 3D printing is without any temporary or permanent molds. Thissignificantly reduces cost and lead times, relative to traditional plastic part productiontechniques such as injection molding. This is especially important for low
