: pavel.ikonomov@wmich.eduAbstractDevelopments in rapid casting technologies have led to a new era of inclusion of 3D printing.Rapid prototyping provides the flexibility and ease of reproducing a sand mold directly fromCAD models, eliminating patterning steps, thus reducing the process time for creatingprototypes. A novel hybrid technique, utilizing both additive and subtractive manufacturingtechniques, has been developed and implemented. This technique finds applications inproduction of shaped cavities/molds for casted metallic parts for various rapid prototyping andrapid manufacturing application. The proposed concept of simultaneous building and machiningof carbon shell sand molds for rapid prototyping (RP) of functional castings utilizes acombination

;afk12@psu.eduCurriculum summary: High school students are often overwhelmed by the proliferation of specialties available to themin the realm of engineering. It is often the approach of the instructor to lecture to the studentsdirectly, rather than allowing them to explore the areas for themselves. To meet this need, anactivity was developed to expose students to the various disciplines of engineering in aninnovative and engaging way. Students in a high school level introduction to engineering classwere given giant whiteboards headed with the various disciplines and allowed a short interval inwhich to write words or phrases with which they associated the discipline. Following theactivity, the words were collected to form word clouds, which were

application of environmental biotechnology requires professionals who have abackground in both areas. The undergraduate engineering curriculum has traditionallynot emphasized training in biological sciences, although many environmental engineeringcurricula have incorporated some engineering microbiology in concert with, or as aprerequisite for, wastewater treatment courses. In general, however, whereasenvironmental engineers have considerable engineering skills required for the design ofprocesses per se, have only a rudimentary knowledge of general biology andmicrobiology in particular. Growth in biology-related courses in the engineeringcurriculum is becoming more widespread, as chemical engineering departments begin toemphasize life science related
therecruitment, retention, and graduation of under-represented minorities and women inengineering, significant discrepancies still exist and much work remains.Over the past ten years at Mercer, African-Americans have comprised 17.1% of studentsenrolled in engineering, while women have comprised 31.1%, on average. In addition,African-Americans and women represent a sizeable fraction of each graduating class(14.8% and 32.0%, respectively). These numbers are higher than those observed in manyother engineering schools across the country. Five-year graduation rates for African-Americans (as well as other under-represented minorities) and women at Mercer,however, are more in line with observations at other engineering schools.The purpose of this paper is to

student learning in an engineeringeconomy course. Student attendance, student achievement, maintaining pace with the class andstudent learning were the four factors that were measured in this study.IntroductionA number of reports show that there are dramatic differences between today’s students and thoseof a few years ago1. Nowadays, we see a general decrease in student preparedness, an increase innumber of employed students, an increase in number of part-time students, and an increase in theage of students. Although there are some factors that cannot be influenced by instructors, we canenhance students’ success rate by increasing student engagement. By engaging students weexpect students to move from memorizing concepts, to explaining those same
