recruitment, transfer, and support system forstudents from regional high schools (HS) to the participating community colleges (CC) and into4-year engineering and technology programs in mechatronics, electronics and computer,mechanical and manufacturing, and systems engineering.Manufacturing is undergoing rapid changes due to the demands of product complexity and variety,and therefore factories are required to become smarter and more efficient. This transformation isdefining the factory of the future, which is also known in the US as advanced manufacturing, andit will require laborers to come to terms with complex processes, machines, and components. Thereis a huge lack of qualified personnel in advanced manufacturing stemming from a lack of
historically minoritized backgrounds.The synergy between GenAI and AEI is particularly potent in its ability to create empatheticeducational tools. Through GenAI, educational content can be dynamically generated to matchthe learning pace and style of each student, while AEI ensures that the emotional nuances of thestudent’s responses are taken into account, offering encouragement, adjusting difficulty levels, orproviding additional explanations in real-time. This dual capability facilitates a learningenvironment where technology truly understands and reacts to the holistic needs of the learner,embodying human factor engineering principles. Such a symbiotic relationship between GenAIand AEI not only enhances the effectiveness of educational

drivers of forced displacement. Humanitarian agencies working in at-riskcommunities, are often in need of not just cash and medical supplies, but also require trainedprofessionals who are comfortable with technology, can guide innovation, and can provideguidance and training to others in the appropriate use of technology [4]. Both emerging andlong-term humanitarian crises have created an endless demand for engineers who are willing andcapable of channeling their skills towards working to alleviate the suffering of those displacedfrom their homes [5]. While the demand only continues to grow, the supply of such individualsremains limited, in part due to the limited training opportunities to engage with these issues.Despite the opportunity and need
