Thesis (MEM) - BPSU, 2023.

The aim of the present study was to determine an effective framework for the integration of Additive Manufacturing education at Bataan Peninsula State University to further promote AM education and research activities in the field. Survey and interview were conducted with the faculty members and undergraduate students in different programs of the College of Engineering and Architecture of Bataan Peninsula State University. Findings suggest that as perceived by the respondents, the students give high regard for research in additive manufacturing technology, while the faculty members put emphasis on AM In-House Facilities. These two dimensions are taken into account in enhancing and upgrading the engineering and architecture curriculum of the university. Thus, drawn from the findings of the study, new courses can be created and be proposed for inclusion in the existing architecture and engineering undergraduate curriculum of the university. These courses shall focus on research, innovative design and production, and additive manufacturing specific to the fields of engineering and architecture.
