) Abstract: This paper discusses a 3D printing project that students will complete involving an electronics kit and an existing robotic chassis kit. Students will be given a chassis built on the laser cutter, an electronics kit and instructions to design a 3D printed shell that will meet design criteria. Students will use one of the CAD software available at the school (Creo, SolidWorks, NX, Autodesk products) or another software approved by the instructor. In the Spring 2016 the shell design criteria will dictate form elements, size constraints, material limits and require that students use the Makerbot 3D printers available at the school. Arduino boards will be used to drive the motors and students will be given design requirements for the

We found that some gamification elements that are often thought to be motivatingfor participants had little to no effect on our course, while elements that specifically targetedmaking the student’s standing in the course more transparent were the most effective.1. IntroductionGamification is becoming an increasingly popular methodology for improving motivation andinterest in many domains [1]. Gamification involves the application of game mechanics to taskstypically considered to be void of fun. In the classroom, this often materializes as a set ofmechanics meant to motivate students to learn more effectively. For
