Using Additive Manufacturing and Active Methods for Teaching Materials and Processes

Additive manufacturingAdditive manufacturing (AM) is a technologyTechnology with almost no limits in materialsMaterials and designs and is now being used in multiple teaching and learning activities at universities and other education environments. This presentation shows results of active learningActive learning using additive manufacturingAdditive manufacturing (AM) in combination with other strategies for teaching introduction to materialsMaterials science, compositesComposites, additive manufacturingAdditive manufacturing (AM), and at a university museum. Diverse materialsMaterials and technologiesTechnology were also used for fabrication and characterizationCharacterization in several courses taught by the author of the presentation.
