AB  - GIFTS: Incorporating a 3D printed project can be a great way to increase retention within engineering.  The Third Grade Drawing into 3D Printed Models project is designed for first-year engineering undergraduate students who have limited experience with engineering and 3D Computer-Aided Design (CAD). Third graders at a local elementary school were tasked to draw a product they would want to sell if they owned a business, and the first-year engineers were tasked to replicate that drawing into a 3D object.  The first-year engineers had a scaffolded process that allowed them to gain skills in CAD and 3D printing while also giving them a chance to be creative and bring a smile to a third grader.  The final designs were successful in replicating the third-grade drawings and the first-year college students showed improved skill in CAD and 3D printing.  Future implementations of this project should involve more interaction with the third graders to enhance engineering education outreach opportunities.
