Educational ContextWPI has long been a leader in project-based STEM education, since the establishment in theearly 1970s of an innovative curriculum that is today called The WPI Plan. Students at WPIenroll in four seven-week terms during each academic year. The Plan allows students openchoice in course work and requires them to complete three significant undergraduaterequirements: the Inquiry Seminar which is a humanities and arts course with a significantwriting requirement, typically completed in the second year, the Interactive Qualifying Project(IQP), which is the subject of our work here, typically completed in the third year, and the MajorQualifying Project (MQP) which is a project completed in the students’ major area

It was designed to be a non-discipline specific progressive engineering programunrestricted by the boundaries of traditional engineering disciplines. The program was proposedbased on the following description of the Engineer of 2020 by the National Academy ofEngineering: one who possesses strong analytical skills, strong communication skills, a strongsense of professionalism, creativity, and versatility1,2.

Although the bracket appears to be a simplecomponent, accurately simulating its nonlinear behavior under loading is a challenging problemeven for upper-division undergraduate engineering students.BackgroundAdditive Manufacturing (AM) is a computer-automated process in which objects are built up,generally layer-by-layer, by the addition of material. Since its invention in the mid 1980’s, AM(also called rapid prototyping) has advanced in both materials and processes. Early AM usedmostly polymer-based materials and was employed mostly for design conceptualization and formand fit checking. More recently, advances in processes and materials have led to a greatexpansion in the usage of AM to include the direct fabrication of functional products across

To that end, several universities have designedintegrated courses than involve two or more areas. Some recent examples are a course thatintegrates calculus and introductory science9, and a science, technology, engineering andmathematics (STEM) course that integrates chemistry, biology, computer science, physics, andmathematics10.
