Educators must choose thebest content, methodology, curricular models, and outcome evaluation techniques to integrateethics into the curriculum [1]. Conversations on ethics in engineering are typically guided by theNational Society of Professional Engineers’ (NSPE) Code of Ethics but they are often notrealistic to the workplace where an individual faces contrasting demands.Entrepreneurial mindset (EM) and ethical dilemmas are more commonly associated with otherfields like business, philosophy, and medicine (especially the latter

Students' attitudes towards the three types oflaboratories were varied. Hands-on laboratories were favored for essential practicalexperiences, while remote and virtual laboratories were perceived as efficient andconvenient options.

theindividual layers takes a lot of time, material, and precision. However, the labor and maintenanceinvolved is minimal, making 3D printing a great cost effective option for manufacturing designmockups and other plastic parts [1-2]. 3D printing creates less waste because material is beingadded to manufacture the part instead of removed. In addition to increasing efficiency, manufacturing engineers must consider how toreduce manufacturing cost. Some ways to achieve this is by reducing the amount of materialneeded or by reducing the amount of labor time per part. Using an infill pattern instead ofprinting a solid part addresses both of these methods. The layers cover less area and thereforetakes up less time and material to complete each layer of
