Lesson 2 focused on the operations of dot productand vector projection. Lesson 1 included the target material for this study; Lesson 2 was given ina traditional instruction format. For Lesson 1, an activity was developed in Geogebra™ thatprovided students some key definitions and visualizations for 2-dimensional vectors, and thenfacilitated an exploration with geometric vector addition and subtraction using the paralleldisplacement and scaling.

Engineering components printed by 3-dimensional printers are employed asmechanical structures in an assembly. In order for the printed components to be useful forengineering applications, mechanical properties of printed parts must be known for structuraldesign. The properties provide answers to the strength of the material, the types of stresses acomponent can endure before failure, and the size of a component based on the loads itexperiences. 3D printed materials have recently been studied for their mechanical properties [4,5, 6].

2recent research argues that since the effects of some pollutants from the industrial era haveeffects that can last hundreds if not thousands of years, the number should be significantly larger(Boyle & Coates, 2005; Tonn, 2004). If this approach is taken, engineers must go beyond theproduct life cycle towards the “project” life cycle which also includes the process (e.g. thefactory and distribution techniques). The paradigm of the design process then must shift toexamine not only the original system, but also change of that and other systems over time (Boyle& Coates, 2005).While many categories could exist, sustainability is generally examined within the context ofenvironmental, economic and social realms.

These exercises can rangefrom a simple poll or discussion in class to the extreme of completely flipping a classroom in whichstudents learn content outside the class and use class time to work on problem sets, active learningexercises, projects, or similar activities. The latter extreme hopes to allow students to work onproblems in a more controlled and collaborative environment than doing problem sets at home ontheir own. Flipped classrooms have shown positive results in some engineering courses, but thisis not universal for all implementations in engineering courses with some studies showing mixedresults in learning outcomes [4].At Villanova University, all mechanical engineering students are required to take a

Regardless of the rules laid out in policy documents, if there is a negative institutional stereotype about engineering education research, it will come through in the peer- reviewed approval committees. This is of special concern for pre-tenure faculty that may see EER as an impediment to achieving tenure. • Lack of Graduate Students. For an institution that does not have a Ph.D. program in engineering education, there are not engineering graduate students that are in a position to work on research projects. This has two impacts.
