Figure 4. 3D-Printer ModelThe SUV model was constructed of ABS and was built in the "sparse" mode, meaning that theinside is hollow with several thin support frames lining the inner shell. It is 7 inches long, 4.5inches tall, and took roughly 17 hours to build from the ground up. The model is rigid, durable,and extremely light in weight. The ABS plastic has a hard, textured finish which varies from faceto face. Because the 3D-printer builds its models a horizontal cross-section at a time, surfacefinish on each face depends on the orientation in which the prototype sits when being built. Onthe SUV model, the sides were extremely smooth, while the front, back, and top exhibit a cross-hatched textured pattern. Later in this paper we will further

Due to these factors, it is of vital importance, more than ever before, that studentswho choose the engineering path are nurtured and retained in the system. This viewpoint is notshared however by the service departments that deal with the “masses”. The student retentionrate for the first and second years of engineering programs has been steady at around 50%. It isour belief that a program addressing the students affected can make a significant impact onretention statistics.
