American Society for Engineering Education, 2017 The Development of a Sustainable Technology for 3D Printing Using Recycled Materials Jason Lehrer1 and Dr. Marietta Scanlon1 1 Division of Engineering, Penn State BerksAbstractAs part of an undergraduate research project, a study was undertaken to determine the feasibilityof extruding recyclable plastic into usable filament to create a sustainable technology for 3-Dprinting. An extrusion process was developed using Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol (PETG)pellets to establish a baseline that would be used when investigating recyclable plastics.Modifications were done to allow for higher temperature extrusion to accommodate the

Nearly every student completed our VHDL assign-ments correctly before the due date; only about 10% of the students submitted the assignmentslate or with errors. As might be expected, the students performing the best on the in-class testsconsistently completed their assignments within a few days while the other students usually tookmore than a week. Since our system time stamps the code submissions, it would be possible tofactor into the grade the length of time required to complete an assignment in order to reward thestudents who turn in their solutions

such jobs suggests a critical need to prepare andtrain the workforce for these emerging fields. This paper describes a collaborative approachbetween three universities to integrate nano/bio technology into the mechanical engineering(ME) undergraduate curriculum by incorporating teaching modules into core ME courses. Theteaching modules focus on the fundamental concepts in modeling and control of smart materialbased actuators (or smart actuators), and they were designed for ME courses in system dynamics,controls, and mechatronics. The piezoelectric actuator, a type of smart actuator, has becomeincreasingly important because of its ability for precision positioning (actuation) or sensing innano and bio-related technologies.
