Ideally, to testgains across a given span of time, data is collected longitudinally, tracking an individual acrosstheir college career. Because we assume that regardless of student ability and demographicbackground, as whole, students will have higher learning gains as they progress through theengineering program, we assert that by aggregating and averaging out values over different classstanding groups can provide insights similar to that of a longitudinal study.Figures 1 and 2, where average scores are examined across learning components and stage levelsfor different class levels. The results show a general upward trend for both variables: learningcomponents and development

Another study, [8], showed that first graders learned andretained at a significantly higher rate when imagery was used, and further, the students showedhigher level of creativity with usage of imagery [9], a result that can be exploited in higher-education problem-solving.

research demonstrates that professional skills, such as teamwork, projectmanagement, cultural awareness, leadership, and interpersonal communication, are still lacking inour graduating students [7, 8], and, in turn, are slowing their career advancement. For this reason,university engineering programs, as well as professional societies in engineering [9, 10], haveidentified the teaching of such professional skills as a goal. Unfortunately, despite this growingand collective interest in professional skills, studies [3, 11] continue to show significant gapsbetween what students are taught in the classroom and what they need to know to succeed inprofessional engineering practice.There is well-established research that professional skills are

MOTIVATION AND BACKGROUND Additive manufacturing (AM, or 3D printing) technology is quickly becoming a common sightin cornerstone engineering design courses [1,2]. The reason is twofold: (i) AM is set to be adominant tool for end-use manufacturing (and thus it benefits engineering students to be exposedas soon in their careers as possible) and (ii) low-cost AM systems can enable rapid prototypingand iteration in the design process, while dovetailing well with computer-aided design (CAD)skills also learned in cornerstone design courses.

The perception of a white-men dominated environment canoften result in unfair stereotypes and biases imposed on women and people of color. These studentscan face assumptions of inferiority and be considered as part of the STEM field only as part of arequirement or quota [2],[3],[4]. Group based project learning is a common tool used in the engineering classroom topromote the acquisition and development of skills that prepare students for engineering careersrequiring significant collaborative effort.

students’ early exposure will benefit them in subsequent courses intheir academic careers [1,2]. Major constraints in exposing students to probability and statisticsin their first year are: course-space availability to accommodate an additional subject, and limitedclassroom time. Additionally, these constraints affect the depth at which an instructor can delveinto the material [2]. Also contributing to difficulty in students understanding the material is thatthey may not have been exposed to the subject of statistics in high school [2].To prepare high school students for the SAT and college, many high schools offer advancedmathematics courses such as Probability/ Statistics and Calculus.
