Introduction Impact and adoption rate of 3-dimensional (3D) printing in manufacturing will increasedramatically over the next few years. The market for 3D printing technology itself is expected togrow to $5.2 billion by 2020 [1]. One example is General Electric (GE)’s decision to deploy 3Dprinters to manufacture nozzles for its LEAP engines. GE Aviation

However, Barton et al. found littleevidence demonstrating the involvement of diverse audiences in makerspaces [10]. A sizablegroup of students is not participating in makerspaces, thereby missing out on the documentedbenefits.Research suggests there is a caveat to the democratizing and transformative nature ofmakerspaces, where technology-oriented makerspaces fall prey to the marginalizing normswithin STEM and engineering environments [11], [12]. To address this issue, an emerging bodyof research focuses on creating inclusive makerspaces. An inclusive makerspace intentionallycreates a safe space for students to foster meaningful

, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) graduate programs typically provideinsufficient instruction for doctoral students electing to pursue a career in higher educationinstruction. Often, doctoral students who teach classes are required to offer lectures or even fullcourses without any formal training1, 2. Therefore, a doctoral student’s transition to a facultyposition may raise concerns from a university administration concerned with maintaining thequality of its course delivery. This paper documents the account of three doctoral students andtwo engineering faculty members while co-teaching/teaching a project-centered first-yearintroductory engineering course.

to 75percent of America's black inner city males with only a high school education or less are jobless,meaning they are looking for work, or have given up the search. During much of the last century,many urban blacks - even those without skills - could earn a decent living in the manufacturingsector. Now, the technology sector offers the most job opportunities. But without technicaltraining or college education, many young blacks are shut out [2]. “Proceedings of the 2006 Mid-Atlantic Section Conference of the American Society for Engineering Educators” 2This paper

However, these measures arenot enough to prevent e-cheating since the traditional password-based system is inadequate tosuccessfully authenticate students remotely. For example, a student can give his or her accountinformation to a person and let that person take the exam for him/her. One proposed solution tothe problem is to use biometrics. We believe that the recent developments of biometrics havemade it a viable technology to prevent e-cheating.
