This introduction covered the definition, history of the general process, typical 3D printer structure, and industrial applications of additive manufacturing. This introduction was fundamental and critical for the subsequent steps.2. 3D printer hands-on operation This practice was

present.Overall the new group exam consists of three phases: (a) Students jointly present their projectwhich usually lasts around one hour. (b) A joint phase usually lasting up to two hours where theexaminers ask questions to the group and where each group member can volunteer to answer thequestion or add something to what another group member has stated, and (c) an individual phasewhere each student directly gets a specific question. Sometimes the students draw the questionfrom a poll of questions at random, at other times the students are being asked something withinan area of the project report that the students did not previously say something about. Before thereintroduction of the new group exam, the Faculty of Engineering and Science had held

Hinduism or Buddhism. I taught engineering ethics at two universities in Singapore: Group-A, mostly Singaporeanstudents through the engineering division in a public university; and Group-B, students mostlyfrom other Asian countries, at the Singapore campus of an Australian University, through theirphilosophy department. The coverage was very similar in both courses. In both, I faced thedilemma of an Asian teaching Asians from Western resources. Having studied under Britishteachers in junior college in India and having lived and taught in USA, I was quite at home withall the ethics concepts and case studies as well as the idiom of the source materials. But I felt somewhat uncomfortable basing all arguments on the Western way of life
