[Brian_Krassenstein]

UNM Valencia has been offering 3D modeling courses and also owns several 3D printers that have been on campus for two years thanks to a Carl Perkins CTE grant. As enthusiasm has grown and the need for 3D printing skills is becoming apparent in the engineering and manufacturing job force nobasw, UNM Valencia has put together a 12-hour semester course in 3D design and 3D printing, to begin this fall. Students will learn the basics of 3D printing and how to operate the equipment, as well as gaining experience with CAD design and using it to actually produce 3D printed models.

what does unm stand for ?
And why can't americans use actual words ?

I'm guessing as the funding appears to come from a rock/country musician that this is actually in america somewhere and not - as would be logical from Valencia, spain.
