Scholarship (CES) or Community Engaged Research (CER). Ultimately, high qualityCE can span all of the traditional faculty activities of teaching, research, and service. While thisis a win-win in terms of beneficial impacts, it can also pose challenges in the faculty promotionand tenure process where academia traditionally compartmentalizes these activities and research-intensive institutions place outsized weight on the importance of research. In STEM fields,fundamental research (including laboratory experiments and numerical modeling) is oftenviewed as more scholarly than applied research. CES/CER is at risk of being devalued undertraditional academic standards [5-6] given its dual purpose of real-world benefits forcommunities.CES is increasingly

slope, reflecting lowest variation. This isconsistent with the smaller error bars seen in Figure 9, suggesting that the 0° print orientationproduces more predictable and consistent failure results. In contrast, the shallow slopes observedfor the 45° and 90° print orientations indicate greater variability in the failure loads for theseorientations, making them less predictable under applied tensile load.Based on this log-normal statistical analysis, it is crucial to note the important implication inlarge-scale manufacturing using 3D-printing. Although the sample size in a laboratory settingcan be very limited, typically about 20 in our case, the strength at very low percentile (such as inthe parts-per-million, or ppm, level) can be projected

The Prescott campus of ERAU may be categorizedas a “teaching institution,” where the engineering faculty place emphasis on instructor-studentinteraction, design experiences, and hands-on laboratory learning.Student retention is receiving increasing interest at Embry-Riddle, especially in recent monthswith the troubled economy.

team-based senior design course as part of a two-course capstonesenior design sequence. The move from independent design to a team-baseddesign was done ten years ago, in large part, due to ABET requirements. Theintroduction of a requirements-driven methodology is consistent with industrypractice and serves to focus decision making during the system architecture anddetailed design phases of the project. The complexity of the project waspurposely scoped to be “broad” rather than “deep” to ensure a capstoneexperience that incorporates software and analog and digital hardware.Teaching a course of this nature is challenging and is very different from teachinga traditional course and/or laboratory.

The process of developing and implementing a solution to theproblem offers a learning opportunity for students to gain new insights and competencies as aresult of “constructivist” and “deep learning” teaching/learning approaches.
