Each student was asked to evaluate the effectiveness of four types of courseprojects—Closed-ended (Closed), Open-ended paper (Open Paper), Non-sponsored design andbuild (Non-sponsor D&B), and Sponsored design and build (Sponsored D&B). The survey wasconducted on a Likert scale with 1 being, “Not at all effective” and 5 being, “Extremelyeffective”. The questions asked were, 1. How effective were the projects you completed at reinforcing course content? 2. How effective were the projects at enhancing your creativity? 3. How effective were the projects at enhancing your open-ended problem solution skills? 4. How effective were the projects you completed at

The open-ended construction toyprojects used in this Rapid Prototyping and Reverse Engineering course accomplishes thisstudent outcome by incorporating the realistic constraints including the ones on economic,manufacturability, safety, environmental and sustainability. In these projects, ABET studentoutcomes a, b, d, e, g, h, and k are also addressed strongly. These open-ended constructionFigure

If the hinge pattern is repeated a fewtimes horizontally, these rotations can accumulate into a large total bending angle.Figure 1. A. plain sheet of material for laser cutting. B. Single symmetric hinge cut into thematerial. C. Torsion strips highlighted in red.In contrast, if the uncut part in Figure 1A is bent about a vertical axis, the mode of deformation isnot torsion, but rather simple beam bending (i.e. tension and compression). The curvature limitbefore permanent deformation or failure (for a given thickness and material) is relatively small,so a desired total bend angle
