Presentations
Several of these publications/presentations involved undergraduate student co-authors
A chemist and a political scientist teach a 3D Printing / Rapid Prototyping Class in the Library with the help of a librarian.
Students in the class developed a project from idea to prototype throughout the semester, learning:
Examples of Slotting and Threading
Is 3D Printing a good match for your institution’s
Does 3D printing bring a new twist to something already
Would students find concepts in a particular discipline more
Would student enthusiasm/motivation be positively
Do publication/presentation opportunities for librarians,
