Reflection is a form of mental processing, according to Moon [1], which can bedirected at a specific outcome, such as building knowledge of a different culture in order torespond with intercultural competency [2]. Participants also develop meaning by comparingtheir new experiences to prior ones, and recognize that other ways of life are no less worthwhilethan their own. This last realization arises from reflection, according to Kember, McKay,Sinclair and Wong, who considered reflection as a re-examination of beliefs [3].Moon proposed a framework for reflection consisting of four stages, from descriptive to highlyreflective writing, where the final stage

Advanced Dynamics has a limited distribution. So, theideas expounded below may seem innovative and new, yet they are not. The purpose of thispaper is to demonstrate the use of rotation operators to solve this problem and to inspire readersto create other innovative solutions. This is the educational purpose of this paper. Since thissolution is based on rotation operators, and rotation operators are often overlooked in dynamics,let us begin with a brief historical overview of rotation operator. Then, I will start from thedefinition of rotation operator, provide examples of operations, and then verify the solutions. Rotation operator was first introduced by J. W. Gibbs in 1901 as mentioned in Ying’sAdvanced Dynamics [1]. A search of the

MOTIVATION AND BACKGROUND Additive manufacturing (AM, or 3D printing) technology is quickly becoming a common sightin cornerstone engineering design courses [1,2]. The reason is twofold: (i) AM is set to be adominant tool for end-use manufacturing (and thus it benefits engineering students to be exposedas soon in their careers as possible) and (ii) low-cost AM systems can enable rapid prototypingand iteration in the design process, while dovetailing well with computer-aided design (CAD)skills also learned in cornerstone design courses.
