The research questions intended tobe addressed through this study are outlined as follows: (i) How does participation in an integrative design project involving 3D printing with concrete influence students' understanding of engineering design processes? (ii) To what extent do projects incorporating emerging additive technologies like 3D concrete printing enhance students' skills in experimental design and material design concepts within a civil engineering curriculum? (iii) Given that prototyping is not commonly emphasized in civil engineering, what are students' perceptions of the value and relevance of prototyping in civil engineering after participating in the

mental imageryis engaged for both blind and sighted people when interpreting engineering graphics.Mental imagery is cognitively part of visuospatial working memory, used for reasoning [11], andnot merely an internalization of the visual percept (actual sight). Mental imagery differs fromvision in that vision is a bottoms-up process, where visual stimuli are processed into sight, versusa tops-down process where knowledge is processed into imagery [8]. Some visual processes donot occur in mental imagery [12], but mental imagery does seem to depend on areas of the brainrelated to higher levels of integration in typical visual processing [13].Since this study examines how a blind student learned engineering graphics, understandingdifferences in the

While participating in this project, I had the opportunity to practice and integrate much of the knowledge I learned during my three years of course work as an undergraduate student. Working in the renewable energy lab in a team of two with an expert professor, enhanced my communication abilities; team working skills; and added a valuable experience that I could not obtain during my usual course work. Throughout the time I spent working on this project, I had the chance to express my ideas and think critically and independently in solving related problems

This does present logistical challenges, but it also allows students atdifferent levels to progress at their own pace within the same course, thus maximizing individualstudent achievement. It also fosters student interactions with stronger students helping theweaker students with both reaping benefits.The successesThe real success of the curriculum change is seen in the students’ fourth semester capstoneprojects.

Adjuncts typically are “offthe radar screen” of the Dean and Chair, hence receive minimal feedback except from students intheir classes. Adjuncts often have little authority to improve the laboratory/class they teach andmay not be included in curriculum decisions. Supto recommends that “every adjunct shouldhave a full-time faculty member assigned as an advocate and resource” but this often isn’t thecase1. Adjuncts are often left to fend for themselves.Departments and faculty may want to do an excellent job of teaching undergraduates, yet it isoften the lack of resources and not

The popularity of these ideas hasencouraged a conflagration of efforts to incorporate and integrate grit into every facet of theeducation system, from curriculum development to personal and professional development.As posited by Duckworth, the
