As a general outcome, students became more involved duringclass time, and also they have shown interest in other research areas, being involved in extra courseresearch activities. Details related to the intervention and lessons learned will be provided so otherengineering instructors can easily re-create in the classroom. Overall, many different fields ofengineering instructors can benefit from this project-based approach to combine theory and practice toprepare the students to become better problem solvers and obtain practical

Thus, ELT's implications for the course's design consisted of guiding learners throughrecursive processes of experiencing, reflecting, thinking, and acting to respond to the learningsituation. That is, "immediate or concrete experiences are the basis for observations andreflections. These reflections are assimilated and distilled into abstract concepts from which newimplications for action can be drawn. These implications can be actively tested and serve asguides in creating new experiences" [5]. Specifics of how ELT guided the course implementationare described in the section below.3.

, students were asked to complete the modulesin class in a self-paced activity. This self-paced format seemed to be a good fit for studentsexploring standards, with one student saying: Personally, I really preferred this type of module for AM standards over the typical lectures. Not to say that technical standards and AM standards aren't important, but it would be difficult to fully learn and understand them by just sitting through lectures about them. I thought the reflections and case study were the best activities to have gone through in the modules. Showing how to find standards and then trying to apply them and give reasoning to where they can be used was a good exercise, and made the overall topic

A simple G02 and G03 command program is required to start the test. The“classic” test calls for the machine tool to perform two consecutive circles; one in a clockwisedirection, the other counter-clockwise. In practice there is an extra arc added before and after thetest circle to allow for the machine accelerating and then slowing down. By using extension barsthe test radius can be selected to reflect the size of the machine and the sensitivity to particularissues (e.g. large radius circles are better at highlighting machine geometry errors, smaller circlesare more sensitive to servo mismatch or lag).

The basic electric connectivity between the mainpower node and the utility (distribution) nodes was tested and verified to reflect the circuitdesign. Another important operational consideration is the heating of the board due the highcurrent it delivers from the battery to the motors- through the electronic speed controllers (ESC)-and other utilities.
