For-Credit 3D Printing Class A chemist and a political scientist teach a 3D Printing / Rapid Prototyping Class in the Library with the help of a librarian.

For-Credit 3D Printing Class Students in the class developed a project from idea to prototype throughout the semester, learning: 3D Design • Computer-Aided Design Software • Introductory Electronics • 3D Printing Techniques • Examples of Slotting and Threading

For-Credit 3D Printing Class • Experiential Learning • Project-Based • Interdisciplinary

To Consider….  Is 3D Printing a good match for your institution’s curriculum?  Does 3D printing bring a new twist to something already being taught?  Would students find concepts in a particular discipline more accessible through a hands-on learning technology?  Would student enthusiasm/motivation be positively impacted by using 3D printing?  Do publication/presentation opportunities for librarians, teaching faculty, and students open up by using 3D printing as a collaborative learning tool?
