prevalent as well. At the U. S. Air Force Academywe have been using RP to enhance our design curriculum for the last three years. In thispaper we give a brief overview of RP technology, and discuss how we use both classical(non-rapid) and rapid prototyping in our design classes. Assessment results from bothfaculty and students are presented which provide insight into the role of RP inundergraduate education. This assessment shows that students have an initial reluctanceto using the RP technology. However, after they have used RP, they report that theprocess is surprisingly easy. In addition, they report that prototyping significantlyenhances their design and more importantly, enhances their learning of the design toolsand methodologies taught
