- Abstract
3D printing is a progressively developing technology under umbrella of industrial revolution 4.0 for rapid prototyping and end-use applications. 3D printing technology is nowadays used in all sectors including automotive, civil, agriculture, medical, aerospace, art and jewelry, and education too. In this work, 3D printing technology is employed as a technology-enhanced tool in engineering education in combination with project-based learning for third-year undergraduates. The combined technology-enhanced project-based learning strategy was used to 3D print components of internal combustion engines to enhance students' comprehension of the fundamentals of internal combustion engines. The activity resulted in improvement in the performance of students in the examination (5.15% improvement in CO attainment and more than 10% improvement in all modes of written examination) as well as professional skill development promoting multidisciplinary learning opportunities and lifelong learning.
