Explain which steps of the design process are affected most by utilizing 3D Printing. Discussion and or presentation of facts, research. Instructor assesses oral presentation utilizing rubric for complete understanding. Objective Examinations Example: Q: Identify the stages of the design process and describe what happens in each. This will be assessed utilizing a traditional written test. Graded via rubric or key. Projects Example: The laboratory assignments/projects are examples to assess the depth of to pic coverage and critical analysis for each student. Instructor evaluates and examines the 3D printed objects versus desired output (design intent, fit form, and function). Student generated lab reports along with quality assurance data will be evaluated by the instructor to determine success level of each project. Graded based on industry standards. Skill Demonstrations Example: Analyze the model as it is presented. Determine what you should change about this model to make it more suitable for printing. Student performs quality assurance documentation of produced 3D printed objects and submits lab report with parts. Lab reports and parts measured and compared by instructor. Grade based on industry standards. Repeatable No Methods of Instruction Laboratory Lecture/Discussion Distance Learning Lab: The instructor will guide students by example through the demonstration of performance based outcomes. Students will demonstrate the practical application of setup, execution, troubleshooting and quality assurance aspects of various forms of 3D printing. Students will setup and run a 3D print on the 3D printer that will conform to the drawing specifications for the physical development of the part. Lab objectives will be assessed by measurement of the physically produced components in comparison to the drawing guidelines. Lecture: The instructor will present to the students during lecture/presentation/discussion engineering design methodology that the student will synthesize and apply to assigned problems and then formulate a solution utilizing correct engineering design methods. Students will discuss various setup methods for additive manufacturing technology and develop individual set up guidelines for their individual 3D models. Lecture objectives will be assessed during the discussion sessions and students will prove mastery by developing a functional set up plan. Distance Learning Instructor will create a how-to tutorial on how to model CAD files. Student will then be expected to model their own CAD files. Typical Out of Class Assignments Reading Assignments 1. Based upon 3D methodologies researched and examined, determine most suitable method for prototyping object and justify decision. 2. Based upon the research pages assigned, what would be the most desirable orientation to print this object to reduce print time and/or reduce support material needed and why? Writing, Problem Solving or Performance 1. Analyze and identify errors in the supplied Computer Aided Design (CAD) Model file; resolve these errors through manipulation of the model file in CAD, slicer software to make it suitable to print. 2. Draw an object to satisfy the supplied constraints that will be able to print without support material. Other (Term projects, research papers, portfolios, etc.) 1. Design and 3D print a prototype to solve an engineering problem. 2. Develop a portfolio that contains samples of semester assignments to show potential employers the engineering design concepts studied.
