Prof. Sochol directs the Bioinspired Advanced Manufacturing (BAM) Laboratory, which pioneers micro/nanoscale additive manufacturing or “3D Printing” approaches to solve mechanically and physically complex challenges, with an emphasis on biomedical applications. Prof. Sochol has developed and teaches two courses: (i) a dual undergraduate-graduate-level “Additive Manufacturing” course, and (ii) an undergraduate-level course, entitled “The Legend of Zelda: A Link to Machine Design”. Prof. Sochol received his B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Northwestern University in 2006, and both his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Mechanical Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley, in 2009 and

If it’s the same, how does this justify your previous stance? 3. Briefly state the difference between vertical and lateral reading. How might using a combination of both impact your future research techniques?Question 1 requires that students first apply criteria from the CRAAP test for evaluation of bothsources. They should practice valuable techniques such as checking publication dates, references,grammar, and so forth. In this way, students get practice in vertical reading, helping

The project-based course and laboratory described in this paper directly addresses these difficulties byhelping students to reduce theory to practice. This approach supports the prerequisitelecture material and allows study of some practical issues which are best handled in alaboratory setting. The course format makes the students gradually more

ABET's Criterion 3, Outcome 6, emphasizes thedevelopment of critical thinking skills in graduates. This outcome requires them to design andconduct experiments, analyze and interpret data, and apply engineering judgment to reach well-supported conclusions. While many engineering students demonstrate strong understanding ofengineering systems and the ability to approach problem-solving however most of them fail toharness their ideas into a functional (practical) design. For this reason lab or project activities areoften attached or integrated into engineering courses. Classroom lectures tend to focus more onthe

These models measure students’ positions along a hierarchical construct of stagesrepresenting increasingly more sophisticated ways of understanding knowledge and solvingcomplex, open-ended problems. The standard method for evaluating students' stage ofdevelopment is the structured, hour-long interview, conducted by an expert. The interview istranscribed and then studied and rated by a second expert. Thus gathering data is timeconsuming, requires experts in the models, and is costly. In attempts to circumvent these disadvantages, several researchers over the years havedeveloped paper-and-pencil (P&P) instruments to assess a person's position on the RJ or Perrymodels.
