Master the skills that matter today and into the foreseeable future. Throughout time, teaching and education have been how humans pass down knowledge and information. While much of that knowledge remains constant, most of it becomes obsolete as our civilization advances. Teaching Students Skills That Remain Relevant As history shows us, our world is always

Discussing formative assessments, summative assessments, and the case for each. The debate surrounding high-stakes testing in education has been ongoing for years. Many educators believe summative assessments do have value, providing a baseline form of evaluation. However, proponents against high-stakes exams believe there is a better way to gauge benchmarks for student success. The Distinction

An Additive Manufacturing Story As Told Through Engineers Officially my title is Product Manager but only because “Jack of all Trades” doesn’t fit on a business card easily. The product I am responsible for is not especially novel but it’s an adapter from your car’s 12v outlet to the traditional 3-prong, grounded outlets you’d see

Why additive manufacturing (3D printing) is the sustainable and greener option to produce your prototype. We are not the first to say it, and we won’t be the last: traditional manufacturing can be wasteful, overconsuming resources and outputting too much scrap. The current process is simply not sustainable. Our planet wheezes under the negative environmental

Our CAD users are not as productive… as they once were Sometimes living with a workaround is easier than addressing a problem at its core. This is especially true when it comes to extremely complex systems like a CAD tool or ERP system. Our company has only 4 full-time mechanical engineers using our CAD tool

Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) are commonly used in aerospace, marine, and industrial turbines for both production and repair work. They help improve corrosion and oxidation resistance, prevent wear and erosion, and add to the thermal stability of surfaces. Therefore, TBCs are a popular choice for increasing the service life of individual components and entire products.

Injection molding — the process of injecting plastic material into a mold cavity where it cools and hardens to the configuration of the cavity — is one of the world’s most popular manufacturing processes. It is best used to mass-produce highly accurate, and often complex, end-use parts. 3D printing is commonly used to build prototype
