AICTE and NEP 2020 recommends inclusion of emerging technology area courses into the existing Diploma, UG and PG engineering programs. The incorporation of ‘3D Printing and Design’ as Professional elective course or Value added course in the existing curriculum would rightly empower the engineering scholars to be ready inline with IR4.0 skill requirements.
As 3D Printing is an emerging technology and many technical education institutes have taken initiatives to include it in their curriculum. Hence, Curriculum document, Underpinning knowledge, Instructional methods and Assessment tools are now required by the teachers to teach this course effectively at Diploma, UG and PG level engineering programs.
