Students participating in Future Engineers worked in teams to assemble 3D printerkits and, in parallel, to design objects to print with that technology. In both programs, studentsenjoyed close mentorship from faculty, laboratory instructors and undergraduate engineeringstudents. Communication skills were woven throughout the projects as a STEAM element —students were asked to present, discuss and defend their work and research findings. Overall
