mechanical testing of 3D printed samples is an important addition to thetraditional engineering laboratory curriculum. In a rapidly evolving technological environment,3D printing has emerged as a transformative technology, reshaping the engineering andmanufacturing sectors. 3D printing has significantly impacted the manufacturing landscape dueto its cost-effectiveness, recyclability of materials, and the ability to fabricate intricate geometrieswith high resolution [1, 2, 3, 4]. The applications of additive manufacturing are widespread,encompassing fields such as medicinal delivery, aerospace, automotive systems, and construction.Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) stands out as the most prevalent method of 3D printing.

To enablestudents in these programs to effectively learn CAD and see how their engineering disciplineuses it, Utah State University modified the CAD course that all students in civil, environmentaland biological engineering take.

Many programs are also seeking toanswer this call by integrating more hands-on activities and active learning in lower-divisioncourses, which require more facilitation than the traditional large lectures. This sharply increasesthe need for teaching resources compared to traditional, large-lecture format courses.

. Part ofthis increase is probably because the faculty members have become more adept at teaching thealternative design. For instance, the faculty members incorporate more examples from previousmechanical engineering students in their instruction. Another part of this increase is probablybecause the students have seen older students use the design in senior design presentations andhave interpreted the alternative design as an integral part of this engineering community. What is also interesting is an examination of the slide designs that these undergraduatesuse after they leave the laboratory course sequence. Our examinations of senior designpresentations over the past three years have found that in these presentations, only about half

anything, the pace of this change is accelerating. Although there are exceptions, in general, engineering education has not kept up with this changing environment. I think it is only a slight exaggeration to say that our students are being prepared to practice engineering in a world that existed when we were trained a generation or two ago.

Most obviously, we need to focus on curriculum, pedagogy, and diversity. … But the need for change goes deeper … We need to scrutinize the current system of faculty rewards … Recall that my definition of engineering is design under constraint. I believe the process of design is a synthetic, highly
