while in personDBL is ideal, a hybrid DBL contributes to easy access to learning while still enablingparticipation and creativity. Best practices for supporting a collaborative hybrid learningenvironment for CAD based projects are provided.1. IntroductionThe maker movement combines creative makers and advanced technologies such as the Arduinomicrocontroller and personal 3D printing to drive innovation in manufacturing, engineering,industrial design, hardware technology and education [1]. Through the process of making,students learn deeper. 3D printing and rapid prototyping allows students to practice the iterativedesign process [2] to produce a functional, aesthetic, and viable product [3].Hands-on projects provide students with a “real

This newly developed courseis designed for non-engineering majors as well as engineering students as an introduction and survey ofrapid-prototyping, especially centered on the advent, impact, and utility of 3D printers and supportingdigital technology: computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software.The course covers both the concepts and practice of 3D printing and prototyping, emphasizing hands-onwork developing computer-based design models (“drawings”) and fabricating prototypes (“parts”) usingcurrent tools for desktop manufacturing including 3D
development in order to protect the environment for future generations” (Eide, et al., 2002). But how do we include the concepts of public service and sustainability into early engineering education? At Michigan Technological University (Michigan Tech), first-year engineering students are preparing for the future by learning to incorporate sustainability into their overall design decisions. Through completion of integrated coursework and design projects, students are learning to consider the economic, environmental and social impacts of a problem in order to create sustainable solutions. These activities coincide with Michigan Tech’s emphasis on sustainability in both educational and research activities (see www.sfi.mtu.edu, for example). Michigan

We identified 25 (31% of the totalresponses) student responses as null responses, and they were excluded from the qualitativeanalysis. The open coding system helped to

There is no argument that traffic volume on US 29, a main north-south artery, is far beyond capacity; the arguments revolve around proposed solutions, their impacts, and costs. We research the main problem and related issues and perform an analysis similar to the one for the Community Water Plan.Because of the writing-intensive nature of the course, second-year standing became a pre-requisite for the second offering of the course. This change ensured that students would havehad the PVCC English Composition sequence before the class. Students who had not completedthis sequence had some issues completing the case studies, and we wanted to support studentsuccess in this course as well as

A review ofcourse syllabi collected as part of the faculty survey suggest that there are few, ifany, examples of best practices in seismic design education that are readilytransferable to a majority of architecture programs. Most depend on the ability ofuniquely qualified faculty or access to regional professional resources in areas ofhigh seismicity. The development of demonstration projects that are carefullydesigned for transferability could help schools address seismic design efficientlyand effectively. These projects could examine ways to access expertise
