Educating High School Students and Teachers in Rapid Prototyping and Manufacturing Technologies

Abstract

Presented in the paper is an analysis of the experience of teaching rapid prototyping technology to groups of high school students and teachers at a workshop sponsored by NSF during the summer of 2003. This workshop was a collaboratory effort between the University of Missouri-Rolla and the St. Louis Community College at Florissant Valley. Its purpose was to expose high school students and teachers to manufacturing technology in the hope of impacting their career choices. The material presented within the workshop was modified during the course of the summer. The paper reports results of the changes through workshop attendee feedback.
