Theme 1: Hands-on learning increased engagement Students overwhelmingly reported that the hands-on nature of 3D printing madeengineering concepts more engaging and understandable. Many described the experience as“exciting” and “fun,” emphasizing that physically designing and printing objects helped them seehow engineering applies to real-world problems. “I never thought I would enjoy engineering, but 3D printing made it more interesting. Seeing my design come to life was really cool.” “Usually, I find science and math boring, but when I got to create my own design and see it printed, I

The primarymethod of achieving this goal has been to forge mutually beneficial relationships among faculty,student mentors, and students.
