Printing can inspire students in extracurric-ular endeavors, and they are a useful tool to creatively explore new ideas for further development.This research is a first step in exploring how students are using 3D printing both in- and outside ofrequired coursework, along with the barriers felt by students in their use of this tool. The goal is togain insight into 3D printing habits and motivations of engineering undergraduates.

Early chatbots were only passive beings. They could not retain informationor offer real responses to what the user said. They could only try to keep the user talking bysaying things like, “Go on,” or, “Tell me more.”Today, chatbots are capable of much more than just passively listening to the user. Zo is one oftoday’s most advanced chatbots [19]. Powered by machine learning, she can carry on a realisticconversation with the user.

Finally, the curriculum does not typically provide early information on thesteps necessary to prepare for one’s career. Failure to understand the answers to such questionscan result in students dropping the major, struggling academically, failing to make a connectionwith peers and resources, and facing challenges when applying for jobs due to inadequate careerpreparation.To address this gap in the curriculum

challenges of tomorrow. A number of authors working within the field of education theory have argued that increasing the efficacyof our educational initiatives requires a deeper understanding of student self-perceptions of their individual ability tolearn, increase intelligence, and develop professional talents (e.g., Dweck, 2006; Hattie, 2002). These self-perceptions have been related to the terms “fixed mindset” and “growth mindset” as a broad means of identifyingstudent preparedness to pursue educational objectives. Perhaps the most significant work on mindset has been performed by Dweck (e.g., Dweck, 2007; Ehrlingeret al., 2015). In particular, Dweck has assessed the impact of these two mindsets on student learning with the

Although the method of sections can produce all for drawing the diagrams, itbecomes tedious when a beam is divided into several segments. The graphical approaches byfree-hand sketch are discussed in every textbook and is a good approach for drawing thediagrams. But the procedures provided in textbooks are not easy to be followed effectively bystudents and could be improved. Many computer-based or similar programs for drawing thediagram are available, but their effectiveness is not validated by proper assessment.
