the course. 2. Design and 3D Printing in Rapid PrototypingDesign is a crucial component of engineering education. It is outlined in ABET’s courseoutcomes criteria “ c” that students should have “an ability to design a system, component, orprocess to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental,social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability”4. The inclusionof a prototype in the design process helps to improve the final design. Witnessing the results andlearning through failure in the earlier design phase minimizes loss in the later stages of productdevelopment. Creating a physical prototype can be an effective way to observe and assess ideasbefore implementing

, manufacturing and implementation of the project. It should be noted that although the first half of team evaluation contributed to 5% of the final GPA, but since the project supervisor is not able to accurately predict the percentage work done by each member, a secured evaluation form that is accessible by the student and the instructor was used to decide if someone did not participate at all. Although this seems to be partially biased, especially when having some personal issues between two members in a team, a confession by more than two members that one team member did not participate equally would be a strong reason for a low grade for that member.Table 2 shows the relation between the ABET learning outcomes and the category/ies that

IntroductionA design project is usually a capstone course in traditional engineering education. To completea design project, students are assumed to have completed all required courses and have mastereda comprehensive knowledge in discipline so that they can apply what they have learned to thedesign project. A new approach is to teach fundamentals of engineering design (FED) tofreshman students. The first objective of this approach is to allow students to learn theengineering subject matter right from the beginning 5. When students spend several semesters innon-major courses without encountering engineering subjects
curriculum for the freshmen year where mathematics, science,technology and communications are taught in an integrated fashion using group projects that dealwith the solution of real-world problems and serve as learning context. In a similar development,Clark et al. 23 presented the design, implementation and evaluation of an entire project-basedcurriculum for chemical engineering that addresses a series of shortcomings of traditionalcurricula.
