Design of a headphone mount prepared by an undergraduate Engineering Technology studentIn the next task, students were instructed to slice their parts with one of the AM softwares availablein the market. They picked Unltimaker Cura since it is relatively easier to install on their own PCand use. Then, they printed their parts with 3D printers available in laboratory. One of theimportant tasks was to optimize their part shape with Fusion 360. In this program, they can usevarious geometry from the nature and redesign their parts by making an analogy with the organicshape. Through the optimization task, students generate a part with similar mechanicalperformance yet reduced weight, which is very important for industry as they always tend to

Standard Deviation 14.19 18.33An approach that shows great promise is that of inquiry-based instruction. This consists ofpresenting teams of students (also introducing the benefits of collaborative learning) with aphysical situation and asking them to predict what will happen. They can then investigate thesituation by experimenting with the laboratory modules. In this way the physical world is nowthe “authority” rather than the instructor. As shown in Figure 1, Laws et al.1 have shown thatusing inquiry-based active learning instruction (identified as “New Methods”) dramaticallyincreases student performance on questions relating to force, acceleration, and velocity.Figure 1.

As each device is studied, its application to the payload system is presentedand discussed. A thermistor is used to measure the air temperature at various altitudes. Amicromachined accelerometer is used to measure the acceleration of the rocket during launchand throughout the mission. Integrated silicon pressure transducers are used to measure bothaltitude and speed of the rocket.
