our society is imperative. Inrecognition of this problem, the objective of this paper is to present the geothermal energy as oneof the clean and sustainable form of renewable energy that uses the heat stored in the Earth as itssource of energy. Its first commercial uses dates back to the early 1800’s and has continued togrow throughout the years. One of its most known and common uses is at a small scale as a heatsource for residences. It can also be used at a much larger scales. There are several questions thatcome up with large scale geothermal energy model. How much energy can be produced? Cangeothermal energy produce enough energy for a whole town, city, or country? What is the initialcost and lifelong cost of geothermal energy? Are there

In addition,students should be able to print their own design using standard or alternative plastic materials withspecific attributes such as flexibility, transparency, electrical conductivity or any other material thatis compatible with the printer. Of utmost importance, this model has to be able to be escalated to acampus-wide system to allow access to the entire student body.IntroductionThe earliest 3D printing technology was developed in the late 1980’s and was referred to as rapidprototyping technology. The idea of rapid prototyping came to be from the need for quicker andcost-efficient design testing for product development within the manufacturing industry. It wasn’tuntil 2009

Shirley Ann Jackson [4] noted that “[s]ince that time, there has beencontinuing concern that engineering education does not sufficiently incorporate liberal studies…As engineering and the technological revolution continue to transform our world, we must assurethat those who steer these changes understand the totality of the human condition, and that bringsus back to the liberal arts.” The chorus of calls for change has included soul-searching reportssuch as that by Grinter (1955) [5], which was soon overwhelmed by the urgency of Sputnik andthe Space Race insisting on the primacy of purely technical competence, and Olmsted [6].Olmsted’s 1968 ASEE Report Liberal Learning for the Engineer praised a few exemplarystudent-driven, socially
. This would reduce institutionalbias, especially if the grading is done through a ‘double-blind’ process. Additionally, responsesfrom all participating institutions can be reviewed by a single (or small group of) ‘knowledgeexpert(s)’ who are not implementing the instrument at their own institution. This latter strategyplaces a higher level of consistency in grading and providing increased reliability in theinterpretation of results, though they may come from variable sources.In undergraduate geotechnical engineering courses, future research may be needed on bias andprecision in instructor grading on high-stakes assessments such as examinations. Ultimately, thegoal is to work towards reducing bias and increasing precision in instructor grading
