The program provides students with theconfidence needed to enter the dynamic workforce of the future, which requires understanding ofbasic structure, materials and electrical design and computing. This program is guided byproject-based learning, an experiential learning pedagogy that focuses on excitement,engagement, applying the scientific method and engineering process, and making a presentationto demonstrate mastery of these principles. ASPIRE introduces students to the fields of computerscience and engineering. Students participate in hands-on group projects centered on theInternet-of-Things.

Reflectionessays, reflective journals, portfolios, end-of-course evaluations and feedbacks, surveys,reflective discussions, and peer evaluations are amongst the more standard reflective activities.However, studies show that incorporating reflective activities into a classroom can be verydifficult and students are often not inclined to engage in reflective activities or to developreflective thoughts.[18-21] For example in a study conducted at a medical school in the UK wherereflective learning is now a requirement for licensing of doctors, out of 232 students, only 20took the introductory Reflective

The effects of AM, or 3D Printing as it is commonlyknown, can be seen in a variety of fields ranging from visual art to healthcare. Effectiveeducation programs designed to teach others about AM are vital to the growth and support of thistechnology as it becomes increasingly ubiquitous [2].

In comparison, research experiences can provide an important outlet forsupporting and promoting student curiosity. Based on the Information Gap Theory of curiosity [1], a curiosity promotion frameworksuggests that when students are given the chance to engage in thinking about and exploringuncertainty, which commonly occurs in research labs, curiosity is supported [2]. Curiosity isrooted in uncertainty, which occurs when an individual is aware of a lack of knowledge,information, or understanding [11].
