The main goal is to create multiple opportunities to teach and reinforcesoft skills within the regular technical curriculum in the high schools. This paper discussesthe integration of the soft skills modules into the technical curriculum developed viaexamples, and outlines its potential uses in this engineering department’s curriculumincluding its manufacturing engineering program. The paper concludes with a discussion ofthe implementation of this project and provides some preliminary feedback from theparticipating high schools and reflections of the authors. It also includes future workopportunities such as

One such area of the curriculum is CAD/CAM and CNC. In this paper wewill review some important advances in technology in this area that are being integrated into amanufacturing engineering curriculum. These include CAM part programming using sophisticatedtool path generation capabilities that promote high speed and high efficiency machining,programming multi-axis machining operations, the use of various measurement techniques toquantify variation and efficiency of CNC operations, and the use of advanced simulation andverification techniques to develop insight into and

fabricated partsCurriculum Development: On-ground, Online, HybridCurriculum development in the context of AM education is a multifaceted process that hasadapted dynamically to the diverse learning needs of students. A well-developed curriculum is amust for a successful delivery of AM content modules [20]. In the traditional on-ground setting,educational institutions have tailored their curricula to provide comprehensive AM instruction,integrating theoretical foundations with practical hands-on experiences in physical laboratorysettings [21]. This approach ensures the acquisition of fundamental knowledge and thedevelopment of essential skills. In contrast, online education in AM has flourished in recentyears, catering to a global audience seeking

-axial Kistler accelerometer, which canmeasure vibration in X, Y, and Z directions. These two types of sensors are typical for machiningdynamics, and can also be extended for other potential applications on machine tools, machinedproducts, and cutting tools as summarized in Table 1 [10]. The adoption of a dynamometer andaccelerometer enriches the curriculum in our Manufacturing Automation course. In that course,we have one chapter introducing analog sensors to students. Nevertheless, we previously focusedon low cost sensors such as thermocouple and RTD due to restriction of equipment, a dynamometercost approximately $65k to $70k, and an accelerometer costs from $700 to $2000. Now, we canconnect these sensor measurements with machining dynamics

].With these features, MR technology aims to solve VR-related issues, like image quality, real-time fidelity, motion sickness, etc., while maintaining the required level of immersive experienceand interaction, increasing its usage in many applications. Thus, many researchers have started toemploy MR technology in manufacturing education [50], [51]. The work presented in [51]proposes integrating VR and AR by combining a virtual assembly environment with an ARapplication. However, the adopted approach utilizes a hybrid tracking system to synchronizevirtual and real hands, lacking the advanced holographic features of MR technology. Althoughthe MR system integrates AR and VR using webcams, gloves, and display monitors, it does notleverage state-of
