The activity was done in an out-of-school setting ina laboratory of a research institution. In this activity, the family received two letters from thedirector of a hypothetical amusement park. The first letter stated the problem of a need to have aroller-coaster in the park. It introduced the context of the problem and provided instructionsabout the next steps. The second letter specified criteria and constraints of the problem. Thefamily had to use a construction kit (Figure 1) to build their

This fact is behind a general trend of teaching applied engineeringsubjects with minimal students’ involvement with physical set-ups including: laboratoryexperiments. Carrying out laboratory experiments and generating experimental data, visiting aproject site, and using pencil and paper to produce a schematic, are gradually fading away. Thesetraditional tools were instrumental in developing an engineering common sense. It is argued herethat generating data from physical models is potentially a great learning tool, particularly whenthe model is built by the students. Building a model, testing a model, generating physical datafrom the model, and analyzing said data, help students

Revision took place in an upper level required Chemical Engineering Laboratoryclass. For the workshop, the pre-tenured faculty modified already existing laboratories toincorporate aspects of scale-up design, engineering economics, and process safety into eachproject. The instructor also added new elements of professionalism, teamwork, and lab safetyinto the already built course structure. Finally, course level assessments were changed from theold ABET Student Learning Outcomes A thru K to the newly adopted ABET Outcomes 1 thru 7.This is a perfect example of a course revision because new elements were added to an alreadyexisting course and the assessment criteria was updated.An example of a Course Component project occurred for a required freshmen

to offer training and/or teaching in new skillsand/or knowledge [51]. For quite some time now, many colleges have provided makerspace-analogous functionalities, including assembly/testing areas, machine shops, Computer AidedDesign laboratories, and/or classrooms. What universities often disregard is the inclusion all ofthese elements in one location [52]. For campuses that do implement such centralizedaccommodations, the majority of these makerspaces are utilized predominantly for informalsettings. Utilizing a makerspace for housing an introductory course in engineering, such as ENGR111, fosters a formal setting that includes a variety of disciplines that draws in diverse backgroundsand varying levels of expertise.If structured properly

This project was student-funded, so there was not a set budgetto adhere to, but the intent was to keep the project pricing down. The initial estimated cost of the projectwas between $275-$300 total, and the project total went a little over-budget by $17.59. However, when itcame to materials such as the silicone sealant, the mini water pump, jumper wire, and battery packs, notall material was used.

At that time, Behrend owned approximately five 3Dprinters, and we initially developed a course where the students could utilize the machinesowned by Behrend. The course was a 1 credit lab that the senior ME students could take to filltheir program requirements (two laboratory courses of their choosing). The machines werecentrally located in Innovation Commons at Behrend, which is a makerspace that was developedby Behrend to support innovation and early manufacturing of prototypes for all Behrend studentsand local
