The goal of any proposed engineering curriculum addition should be, in someway, to better prepare students to be ready to engineer immediately upon graduation. Thisproposal outlines a plan to accomplish exactly that by reconciling with the need in the industryfor engineers who understand common manufacturing processes and how to design for them.Whether a student goes on to become a researcher, practicing engineer, project manager,independent consultant, or engineering entrepreneur, their background will be strengthened by anunderstanding of manufacturability considerations and systems engineering

Supported by the National Science FoundationImproving Undergraduate STEM Education initiative, researchers at three institutions haverefined and reorganized a series of scaffolded laboratory writing modules based on the work offaculty and graduate students at a CoP meeting.

practice, a skill set that is essential forstudents pursuing faculty careers, may also be a useful metric for graduate training more broadly.In the initial design of the course, we chose to move away from traditional assignments andassessments (such as quizzes and tests) to maximize the accessibility of the course. Given thatour course participants are graduate students with research responsibilities, reducing the timeburden for this course was a top priority. Still, we believe that utilizing a limited number ofungraded assessments will increase opportunities for active recall and spaced repetition without asignificant increase in participant time burden.For (3), one of the driving motivators in the inception of the course was creating

We surveyed all past participants of the workshops, and respondents indicated thatthey had received several benefits from the workshop experience including better planning andorganization of research experiences for undergraduates.
