An ill-defined domain is categorised by Lynch,Aleven, et al. 8 as one in which there is a lack of a systematic way in which to determine if aproposed solution is optimal, and by King and Kitchener 9 as one in which problems cannotbe described with a high degree of certainty or completeness.Commenting on university courses in manufacturing, Sanderson 10 says that, “the type ofanalysis, modeling and decision-making required to integrate manufacturing into real-worldapplications are beyond the scope of traditional lecture and textbook materials”, whilstDessouky 11 writes that, “traditional pedagogy in manufacturing [courses] is ill-equipped forthe task”.

In thisproject, the RET participants will develop a set of modules which can be integrated with a designproject given at both the high school and college curriculum levels to explore principles ofmanufacturing and design (e.g., dimensioning and tolerancing, Design for X, Proof of Concept).The participants identify one or more products in which these principles can be applied and thendevelop a set of constraints the students need to consider when making the products. The objectiveof this project is to identify best practices for teaching 3D printing and develop projects to illustratethe application of the manufacturing principles through 3D printing

Similarly, the concept of six sigma was introduced and adopted to improveproduct quality [2]. However, all of the above-mentioned concepts were focused on designing andmanufacturing the product with higher efficiency and lower cost. Later, societies across the globebegan to push for environmental awareness and concerns [3]. This introduced the “green”movement in product designing, which was termed as Design for Sustainability (DFS) [4]. Theconcept of sustainable design extends the broader concept behind DFM, concurrent engineering,and six-sigma.Sustainable
