Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) printing can revolutionize the way products have been designed and manufactured. This necessitates engineering graduates equipped with the knowledge and skills of 3D printing. As a result, the educational aspects of 3D printing have earned a great deal of attention. Nevertheless, to teach 3D printing in an undergraduate engineering degree program, an outcomes-oriented approach integrating engineering design, object visualization/digitization, and 3D printing domains can be used. Accordingly, this study presents a tutorial development method to teach undergraduate engineering students the knowledge and skills of 3D printing. The method integrates the abovementioned domains maintaining a hierarchy among the seven ABET-prescribed outcomes. The hierarchy organizes the outcomes into three levels (primary, secondary, and tertiary). The presented method is implemented by introducing a tutorial where a spur gear-pinion pair is designed, visualized, digitized, and 3D printed systematically. E-learning tools can be developed to deliver the tutorial online.

The study reported a six-step process of additive manufacturing that links additive manufacturing to medical imaging for understanding
If the students produce the necessary triangulation dataset directly in the engineering domain by developing a dedicated program or some other means, it can be transferred to the 3D printing domain for performing the tasks related to E
Summary
Additive manufacturing (AM) [1,2,3], popularly known as three-dimensional (3D) printing [4,5], has the potential to revolutionize the way products have been designed and manufactured. At the must follow an outcome-oriented approach (see Section 3) as explicitly as possible for engineering same time, the approach must integrate engineering design domain, object visualization/digitization students. This article’s objective is to educational outcomes can seamlessly integrate 3D printing in engineering curricula. Develop an outcome-oriented approach that can educate students with the knowledge and skills of 3D this article’s objective is to develop an outcome-oriented approach that can educate students with the printing, integrating engineering design, object visualization/digitization, and 3D printing domain. Knowledge and skills of 3D printing, integrating engineering design, object visualization/digitization, The structure of this article is as follows.
