3-D Visualization In Environmental Engineering Design Courses: If The Design Fits, Print It!

Integration of 3D printing in computer-aided design and engineering course

“…Besides, university courses should expose students to the latest technologies such as three-dimensional (3D) printing, which is one of the main pillars in the Fourth Industrial Revolution (IR4.0) [9][10][11][12][13][14]. Several works integrate this 3D printing technology, especially in science and technology, medical and special education [7,[15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. Nowadays, 3D printed parts act as supporting tools for educators [23][24][25][26][27][28].…”

The Green Escape Room: Part 2 - Teaching Students Professional Engineering Ethics by Applying Environmental Engineering Principles and Deciphering Clues and Puzzles

“…However, a review of the students' FE exam study logs, which seniors are required to maintain in the program, showed no documented work regarding the ethics material prior to the escape room exercise. Thus, this work tests the acquisition of new knowledge as opposed to recall from previous lessons (whereas other engineering escape rooms in the literature explicitly targeted recall [10][11]). However, recall of environmental topics was helpful in solving individual puzzles.…”

“…In this work, an escape room is developed and executed to teach undergraduate environmental engineering students the NSPE Code of Ethics for Engineers. This follows the development of a similar escape room in Part 1 of this paper series focused on FE review for the environmental engineering portion of the FE exam [10].…”
