The vacuum formed in thecylinder, in combination with atmospheric pressure on the top of the piston, actuated areciprocating pump via an overhead “walking beam.” This first engine served to pump waterfrom a coal mine in England, but the power technology thus created enabled the IndustrialRevolution and sees its legacy in the steam-powered utility power plants of today.In commemoration of the tercentenary of Newcomen’s engine, a group of MechanicalEngineering students at the United States Naval Academy designed and built an instrumentedoperating model of a Newcomen engine.

Because of the growing use ofcases in engineering courses, and because it is difficult to separate out design issues from thosein ethics and in the environment, we are developing cases that encourage students to thinkimaginatively about design in light of the increasing concern for the environment and otherissues that will be challenging to them in their work as engineers. We hope to produce engineerswho will be better able to make ethical decisions about creating and marketing new technologies(Mehalik & Stocker, 1996).The first set of cases we are developing illustrate organizations which make sound engineeringdesign

and belonging in engineering culture. The inequality of women in engineering has beenattributed to persistent male-dominated cultures and women’s difficulty establishing themselvesas legitimate engineers. In 1993, McIlwee [1] found that men’s identities in engineering centeredaround “tinkering” hobbies and passion for technology. Women’s interest in engineering, incontrast, was typically more academic and less “hands on”. In her ethnographic work withengineering students, Tonso [2] argued that despite a wide range of normative engineeringidentities, none of them were associated with women. Ten years later, McLoughlin [3] arguedthat while some women were drawn to engineering through the “traditional” pathway of passionfor technology, there is

Teachers can bemore effective for a broader set of students by employing a modality with which students arealready very familiar.In addition to the rapid pace of technological change, engineering is also becoming increasinglyinterdisciplinary. While exercises and problem sets work well to test a student’s grasp ofindividual ideas, we believe that the integration and application of multiple concepts is bestapplied in larger project or lab settings.

In addition, there is need for the capabilities of utilizing infor-mation technology, focusing on customer and societal needs, as well as ethical and environmental concerns, andunderstanding global needs and market forces. Therefore, the focus of engineering education should be on theimmediate applicability of the engineering knowledge to the end user.

The impactsof using 3D printed specimens on the engineering curriculum for mechanical engineers are alsodiscussed.IntroductionFused deposition modeling (FDM) is an additive manufacturing technology commonly used formodeling, prototyping, and production applications. It is one of the techniques used for 3Dprinting. FDM works on an “additive” principle by laying down material in layers; a plasticfilament is unwound from a coil and supplies material to produce a part.
