-IUSE grant (DUE-1727054) emphasizes a cohortbased first year experience which highlights a mindset framework (Dweck, 2008). These practices have convinced us that astrong connection to community, asset-based orientation, and flexible mindset all contribute to good outcomes. Althoughthese elements contribute to building resilience in the student population, there are also many challenges related to fewerfinancial resources and weaker academic preparation.Cal Poly too has many programs to support student success. Recently the university has put much emphasis into creating awelcoming environment to support people of color and first generation students. The College of Engineering has been aleader in this area.

become competitive graduates. Schools need to prepare engineering students forfuture world through education practices that emphasize problem solving skills [1-2]. In order toreach this goal, students need to be exposed to projects that are related to real-world problemsthat include the typical complexity and uncertainty associated with these problems [3]. Studentsneed to learn how to frame a problem, analyze, design, manufacture and test it [4]. To meet theseneeds, educators need to revise and fit new contents to their courses, to shift the learningobjectives to focus on including design thinking and professional practice elements in courses.This has also been set as goal by the US Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology(ABET

Engineering Education, 2020 Enhancing Undergraduate Research across Disciplines: Integration of 3D Printing and Advanced Materials to Engage StudentsAbstractIn the last decade, there has been a dramatic increase in the efforts dedicated to involvingundergraduate engineering students in research activities. Foundational topics in mechanicalengineering are taught separately in most engineering programs, without emphasizing theconnection among concepts and applications across topics. The advance of additive manufacturingtechnology provides a unique platform to integrate multiple mechanical engineering topics andcourses to enhance undergraduate research and education.

We believe that students’ enthusiasm for the course resultsfrom both the uniquely collaborative design of this class and the real world application of all ofthe material provided in this innovative course.1. IntroductionMany of today’s engineering graduates lack the necessary skills to become contributing membersin an industrial team environment immediately upon graduation. Most engineering schools haveconcentrated their efforts in preparing engineers to go to graduate school, or have simplyneglected the more practical aspects of the profession, preferring to let industry train theirengineers through co-op or on site training programs
