sustainability. Further, lightweight parts are cheaper to produce [11].2. Thermal management: new topologies can help heat-dissipating devices remove heat orconvert energy into more useful forms in a more efficient way. This software allows for thecreation of complex structural designs for heat exchangers, maximizing heat transfer andminimizing pressure drop. With the help of additive manufacturing, these designs are smaller,and reduce the size and weight of the devices (i.e. the cooling systems in electric vehicles can getsmaller, improving the overall performance of the vehicle) [12]. © American Society for Engineering Education, 2023 2023 ASEE Midwest Section Conference3.

procedural training are required when operating a3D printer and the production time is much shorter than that required to produce a part in amachine shop. In the last decade, this simplicity of operation and reduced production time havecontributed to increasing the diffusion of 3D printing1, 2 and made 3D printers more widespreadand affordable machines. In the meantime, 3D modeling software has become more widespreadespecially in educational environments for which CAD software companies have developedspecific versions of the software.3, 4 The increased availability of 3D modeling software and 3Dprinting machines has opened the way to a number of new applications in STEM education,where, as reports show,5, 6 3D printing can be used as a powerful tool
education is selected as one of the key areas. This is relevant to the increased demands ina shorter and faster paced research and development in electronics systems design. In order tomeet the functional requirements for the electronics systems, one of the typical choices is to usea general-purpose microcontroller, sensors, and communication modules. In embedded systemeducation, the topics related to these components can be covered. The Engineering Technologyprogram at Texas A&M University has been educating students through embedded Cprogramming, microcontroller architecture, and embedded system software courses. Theprogram also offers a technical elective on an embedded real time software development courseand a graduate level intelligent

. Itseems that BIM should be offered in a CM curriculum from the start as a design course andprogress to advanced scheduling and estimating as the curriculum progresses.Building Information Modeling is a new concept that many educational institutions areattempting to implement within their organizations. Currently there is not an acceptedinstructional strategy to teach BIM in any AEC curriculum 33. In a case study at Western IllinoisUniversity, AutoDesk Revit was taught as part of the CM curriculum. This course covered notonly the technical aspects of the software but also the many technical components of buildingconstruction. The students were able to learn how to use the software and understand what theywere building. This helped the students

drawbacks of contemporary project controls education are twofold. First, project controls-based decision-making is premised on static quantities and estimates completed in the past. Thisrequires that new baselines be periodically reestablished as a reforecast. Second, elements ofcost control (e.g., chart of accounts), time control (e.g., critical path method schedules), andquality control (e.g., statistical process control) commonly function as disparate entities. Thissituation exists largely because integration depends on resource continuity; something that thecritical path method cannot ensure.Recently, project modeling and simulation has been used by the author to demonstrateprospective, integrated project control.

Engineering Education Annual Conference & Exposition Copyright 2001, American Society for Engineering EducationIUPUI’s CyberLab has developed controlling software that allows the viewer to control thedirectional view of the camera so that the viewer determines where to look as if viewing the testin person. This control of the camera involves the student viewer in the experiment and doesn’t”give away the answers” by moving to show the correct dial of the measuring device.

It also involves the students in their learning and provides them access tolab testing that cannot be learned from textbooks
