I have minimal experience in coding and 3D printing. However over the course of this module, I learned more about and coding (Arduino) & 3D printing in terms of extrusion, feature sizes and design which is apparent in my course.
Prototyping and iterating many designs is a process I embraced from this module. It also brought along a problem-solving mindset to re-engineer our designs when we fail. The hardest part of the project for me would be the coding and software which is used to turn and flip our cube once it is drawn. Overall, I appreciate the engineering and problem-solving experience combined with collaborative teamwork that this module has provided!

As a non-engineering student, I saw M&T as an opportunity to broaden my view and enhance my skillset. The experience was enriching for me, as I got to learn out-of-curriculum topics such as configuring a 3D Printer and product design. I am glad that I got to do a hands-on project, which I would never have had the chance to do due to the nature of my major.
Though it was hard for me to understand the terminologies at first, I had teammates who were willing to explain each step to me patiently. M&T is a group project for a reason, teammates needed to fill the skill gaps of other teammates, which was exactly what I saw in our group. As people of different expertise came together, we were able to accomplish what we could never have done if we were by ourselves. Through this process, I was also able to learn a few things from other engineering fields like mechanical and materials. All in all, this project has been a fulfilling and rewarding, and I cannot wait to showcase our final product.
