The skill of 3D printing and thechemical engineering principles to solve problems in the biomaterial and material industry is oneonly example of why learning rapid prototyping is important.Methods/assessment – This research project was approved by Vanderbilt’s IRB # 191344.

Rising junior students workedwith the instructor to develop and create the activities that can fit in a 50-minute class session.This step took numerous iterations and ideas that did not fit into the boundaries of the

This retrospective pre/post questionnaire technique helps to alleviate response-shift biaspresent in self-assessed changes in learning attitudes. Our findings show that collaborativepresentation videos increased self-reported audience interest in engineering, and perceptions ofdisciplinary relatedness more than the non-collaborative, individual presentations made by thesame researchers. These results suggest a beneficial role for collaborative communicationstrategies to foster interest in engineering among public audiences, even among people without abackground in STEM. Further

Students were provided access to videos of the lessons, and students had access tofaculty assistance for questions about the content. Students were given multiple attempts tosubmit homework, and the spatial visualization assignments were assessed throughmastery-based grading. Most students performed well on their initial homework submissions, buta few students did occasionally take advantage of the resubmission opportunity.

For example a tiger team was formed during the Apollo13 emergency to get the astronauts of the damaged module back to earth.

Such a laboratory has a significant advantage over a real laboratory becausethe capability to upgrade and update software packages to emulate the real one is mucheasier and cheaper than replacing the equipment found in a real laboratory.We have designed different lab assignments. The lab assignments include analog anddigital modulation techniques, the design of fiber optic links along with studying thecorrelation between the physical characteristics of the link and the transmitted signal, andthe design of different network topologies.To provide an initial assessment, the communication lab
