It allows the viewer toexamine the model at different angles and at different distances, all within a web browser.Animations, sounds and interactivity are also possible with VRML.This paper describes the application of VRML and the imparting of manufacturingeducation to engineering students using the Internet.

understand how graduate students experience thetransition from engineering disciplines into engineering education research. Moore et al. [5]studied graduate students’ transitions into engineering education and argued that theepistemological and ontological shifts of this transition created challenges in learning how towrite within their new discipline. Engineering education research has different expectationsaround the structure of academic arguments, which can be challenging for students to navigatewhen they enter the discipline as a new researcher [5]. To help students navigate this disciplinarytransition and develop effective writing practices, it is important to understand how studentsperceive and negotiate expectations around academic

between the conferring of science, technology,engineering, and mathematics (STEM) bachelor’s degrees to minoritized groups at four-yearpredominantly White institutions (PWIs) and the number of STEM faculty that representminoritized groups [1], [2]. The Morrill Act of 1862 established engineering as a major atinstitutions currently known as PWIs. From the very conception of the engineering collegiateculture in 1862, minoritized groups have been ostracized and unwelcomed. Engineering as amajor was not created with Communities of Color in mind. Studies have shown that a diverseengineering faculty contributes to improving access and success of diverse students [3].Considering this, it is important to address the effects of the lack of minority

. It represents thetotally cooperative solution and generally yields the best results. However, it is the mostdangerous because any one player can deviate from being totally cooperative and improve his orher result (a higher number for the value function can result), and the other two players can endup with diminished results (lower numbers for their value functions). Thus, the Pareto optimalsolution entails the risk of “double-cross.” But if the Pareto optimal solution can be effected, all Page 11.1288.5players end up with the best possible values for their value functions.

schedules are full of teaching, research, service, and learning requirementsthat are on relatively strict timelines. In an effort to overcome these challenges, an ad hoc teamwas formed at California State University, Chico with representatives from all seven colleges.Three main pillars of innovation were identified (1) an entrepreneurial learning experience, (2)an on-campus makerspace, and (3) community outreach and engagement. This paper focuses onthe design, implementation, and success of the on-campus makerspace and as well as the lessonslearned and areas for improvement. The space is entering its third year of operations and hasseen over 1,500 projects completed in spring 2019, a marked increase in usage.IntroductionThe maker movement is

the first layer.Printing temperature also affects the quality of the print. A proper print temperature ensures a goodflow of material through the nozzle, reduces nozzle clogs, and improves layer adhesion. Buildplate (bed) temperature affects the layer adhesion of the printing material. Print speed affects theprinting time, quality, and layer adhesion. Too high or low of a print speed can cause prints to fail.Figure 13 – Print settings for Figure 8 and Figure 10 in Ultimaker Cura 5.3.0. Print cooling isan important parameter for layer adhesion [14].Another important parameter is print cooling. The cooling fan on the printer lets the moltenthermoplastics cool to make a solid part. Print cooling is recommended for low-temperaturefilaments like
, numerical simulation has become a tool as important as observation, theory, andexperimentation to all engineering and science disciplines. In most cases, it is adopted more often thanexperimentation because it is more economic, less time-consuming, and able to explore infeasiblesituations. [1][2] Without doubts, numerical simulation should be included by engineering education.Numerical simulation depends on high performance computers to solve large scale problems oreffectively improve accuracy of results because they surpass the computing power of uniprocessorcomputer system. High performance computers refer to parallel computers, namely computers equippedwith multiple processors. [3][19][20][22] Although parallel computers are capable to execute

A sequence of project-based learning courses in engineering brings together faculty and studentsto work in multi-disciplinary teams. Students gain experience solving practical, open-ended engineeringproblems and developing professional skills throughout their studies.

Specific education and research opportunities in this phase can include investigating and teaching how to ensure indoor environmental quality, thermal comfort, and light quality, how to conserve energy, water, and resources, and how to manage waste. This phase also includes explicit consideration of what happens to the facility or civil infrastructure system at the end of its useful life of the facility. Additional education and

. 1A variety of technical standards challenges are present in the literature. For starters, academia isexpected to provide basic technical standards education rather than supplement the trainingprovided in industry co-ops and internships [4]. Educators struggle to provide technical standardseducation due to the overloaded higher-education curriculum [2] and the need to customizeexisting content for discipline-specific courses [5]. Much of this burden (including themaintenance, purchasing, and education of technical standards) falls on academic librarians whoare in short supply. Little to no attention is given to educating graduate students on technicalstandards [2]. Due to these known challenges, efforts have been made on behalf of
