Advances in additive manufacturing (AM) processes have resulted in these technologies becoming ubiquitous both in design and in manufacturing. Moreover, we have seen an increased interest among educators in integrating AM in engineering education, from cornerstone to capstone courses across various disciplines.
The goal of this workshop is to help participants integrate DfAM in their courses through task-based interventions. First, we aim to encourage participants to reflect on the educational objectives they wish to achieve when introducing DfAM in their educational practice. Second, we aim to ... (continued)

This workshop will introduce participants to emerging ecosystem frameworks in engineering education and provide methods and tools to reexamine their own programs using the values, goals, and assessment metrics suggested by such frameworks.
It is well established that the outcomes and practices of engineering education are determined by more than the practice of engineering, disciplinary knowledge, and pedagogical knowledge and practice. Engineering education is also influenced to a large degree by the vision and beliefs people have about the purpose it serves in society; these beliefs affect wh ... (continued)
Alan Cheville studied optoelectronics and ultrafast optics at Rice University, followed by 14 years as a faculty member at Oklahoma State University working on terahertz frequencies and engineering education. While at Oklahoma State he developed courses in photonics and engineering design. After serving for two and a half years as a program director in engineering education at the National Science Foundation, he took a chair position in electrical engineering at Bucknell University. He is currently interested in engineering design education, engineering education policy, and the philosophy of engineering education.
