Abstract
Recently, an important trend of engineering education is involving the design process into students’ learning cycle. The design process is more aesthetically and artistically motivated. The purpose of this study is to develop and evaluate a truss tower STEAM project that integrates emerging technology of 3D printing and cloud technology. The design research method was adapted and a three-phase framework guided the process of this study. We proposed some critical tasks for each phase and thus to manage the STEAM project. Suggestions on revising the project are proposed in this study.
