applied research project, Caleb Burnett explored how extreme environmental conditions, especially humidity and temperature, impact the durability of adhesive bonds used in laminated aluminum components. Using controlled lab testing, he simulated real-world conditions such as high heat and moisture exposure, revealing how they contribute to bubble formation, delamination, and structural failure over time.<\/p><p>His hands-on work included:<\/p><p>1. Preparing samples with structural adhesives<br \/>2. Conducting tests in an environmental chamber<br \/>3. Documenting degradation through photography and destructive testing<\/p><p>Caleb\u2019s findings support quality control improvements that can extend product life, reduce waste, and improve performance in harsh environments, skills directly aligned with careers in advanced manufacturing, aerospace, and materials testing.<\/p><p>This project reflects the Industrial Technology

project, Daniel Jett Riggs explored how to improve the reliability and efficiency of 3D printing through remote monitoring and control. By integrating a Raspberry Pi with OctoPrint, an open-source interface, he transformed a standard desktop 3D printer into a remotely accessible system, allowing full control and oversight from anywhere.<\/p><p>Daniel conducted performance comparisons between traditional (manual) and remote-controlled printing by evaluating:<\/p><p>1. Print success rate<br \/>2. Downtime and user intervention<br \/>3. Print quality and material use<\/p><p>Results showed that remote operation significantly reduced errors, increased time, and improved print quality.

He focused on enhancing Standard Work Instructions (SWIs), the step-by-step guides used by operators to complete tasks accurately and efficiently.<\/p><p>Jairus identified key issues, including missing visuals, vague instructions, and lack of timing standards. His solution? Redesigned SWIs with:<\/p><p>1. High-quality annotated photos of each production step<br \/>2. Clearly defined Cycle Times to improve efficiency tracking<br \/>3. Recommendations for sustainable practices like scheduled reviews and visual onboarding aids<\/p><p>The project helped reduce process variation, enhance employee training, and strengthened quality control, while giving Jairus hands-on experience in technical communication, lean manufacturing, and industry collaboration.<\/p><p>This project exemplifies how SAU\u2019s Industrial Technology program prepares students to solve real industry problems through practical, applied learning.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-757136a e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"757136a\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ed58827 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"ed58827\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/web.saumag.edu\/engineering\/files\/2026\/03\/88cea34f-3e9c-4eb0-9438-50f85b17913c-768x1024.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-864\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/web.saumag.edu\/engineering\/files\/2026\/03\/88cea34f-3e9c-4eb0-9438-50f85b17913c-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/web.saumag.edu\/engineering\/files\/2026\/03\/88cea34f-3e9c-4eb0-9438-50f85b17913c-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/web.saumag.edu\/engineering\/files\/2026\/03\/88cea34f-3e9c-4eb0-9438-50f85b17913c-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/web.saumag.edu\/engineering\/files\/2026\/03\/88cea34f-3e9c-4eb0-9438-50f85b17913c-scaled.jpeg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-20249f7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"20249f7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/web.saumag.edu\/engineering\/files\/2026\/03\/d75c4d1c-4800-48d9-a290-b103cefbcd3a-1024x640.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-863\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/web.saumag.edu\/engineering\/files\/2026\/03\/d75c4d1c-4800-48d9-a290-b103cefbcd3a-1024x640.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/web.saumag.edu\/engineering\/files\/2026\/03\/d75c4d1c-4800-48d9-a290-b103cefbcd3a-300x188.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/web.saumag.edu\/engineering\/files\/2026\/03\/d75c4d1c-4800-48d9-a290-b103cefbcd3a-768x480.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/web.saumag.edu\/engineering\/files\/2026\/03\/d75c4d1c-4800-48d9-a290-b103cefbcd3a-1536x960.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/web.saumag.edu\/engineering\/files\/2026\/03\/d75c4d1c-4800-48d9-a290-b103cefbcd3a-320x200.jpeg 320w, https:\/\/web.saumag.edu\/engineering\/files\/2026\/03\/d75c4d1c-4800-48d9-a290-b103cefbcd3a.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-slide\" data-slide=\"4\" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" aria-label=\"4 of 4\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-704f066 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"704f066\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;gradient&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b1d4a86 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"b1d4a86\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-569103e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"569103e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h1 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Design and Manufacturing of 3D Printed Jet Engine<\/h1>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b6b4bc3 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"b6b4bc3\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f5b690b elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f5b690b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>By: Colby Pearson &amp;
