One crucial task is to teach students how to use moderntechnology to evaluate the quality of AM parts because AM has not reached the point of competingwith traditional manufacturing in terms of surface finish and repeatability. Moreover, the printedparts are often treated as black boxes with invisible defects, such as pores and cracks. Such non-transparency significantly challenges the qualification and certification of additively manufacturedparts. In this paper, we present a semester-long project designed for a new AM course offered atUniversity A to

The inclusion of the cellphonemechanism removes the need for a built-in camera, but it also adds an extra but simplecommitment for the students to complete the activity. The tests and worksheets will be used toask students about concepts like microfluidics and reaction kinetics to address theirunderstanding of these subjects. In addition, students will create a calibration curve usingspectrometry, something they may need to do in the future should they choose a career thatinvolves chemical analyses.

Engineering education allowsstudents to authentically apply content related to real-world phenomena so they can understandhow the intertwined nature of science and engineering addresses the community and globalissues they are facing today. Engineering education better prepares students to think critically,make decisions, and pursue STEM careers and educational trajectories. Yet many teachers,particularly in elementary grades, lack sufficient professional development and self-efficacy toinclude engineering in their curricula and embed it in meaningful ways that connect to students’lives and communities. This phenomenon is augmented along gender, geographic, andsocioeconomic lines [10-13

Particularly, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics[5] anticipates a 15% increase in computer science related careers, but a 10% decrease in thecomputing workforce. One potential factor in this predicted decrease could be that high schoolstudents lack exposure to computer science as upward of 89% of high school science teachersnever include computer science in their teaching [6]. To expose high school students tocomputing, future iterations of the NGSS should integrate computer science standards that alignwith computing skills needed to enter college computer science programs.
