This paper presents several applications of 3D printing to model rocketry that were used to enhance experiential learning in two undergraduate engineering design courses. In a first-year seminar the students use a simplified systems engineering process to design and build model rockets to meet a mission goal defined by the faculty: determining their rocket’s apogee using an onboard camera. The camera was mounted in a payload section that the students designed and 3D printed. The inclusion of 3D printing allowed the students to iterate on their designs and to quickly make changes. In addition, a senior-level advanced computer aided design course offered as a project option to students the complete design, analysis, build, and launch of fully 3D-printed model rockets. We report on student and faculty experiences and provide materials and suggestions for adoption in other programs.
