Abstract

This paper presents a novel educational framework that integrates additive manufacturing (3D printing), social manufacturing platforms, large language models (LLMs), iSTREAMS, and iCDIOS to bridge academic learning, industrial practice, and research innovation. The framework adopts a “learning-by-doing” approach, where students engage in projectdriven tasks that span 2D-to-3D modeling, material property optimization, and collaborative problem-solving. By leveraging AI tools for design iteration and real-time feedback, students develop competencies in critical thinking, technical execution, and interdisciplinary collaboration. The framework also emphasizes dynamic assessment mechanisms that combine human evaluation with AI-driven analytics to provide personalized feedback and inform curriculum updates. Through this integrated approach, students are equipped with the skills necessary to navigate the complexities of modern Cyber-Physical-Social Systems (CPSS)-driven industries. A case study is provided to demonstrate the framework’s implementation and its potential to foster interdisciplinary control research and curriculum development, highlighting the synergy between iSTREAMS and iCDIOS in enhancing educational outcomes.
