discussed as a critical area to integrate the operator 4.0/5.0 research space[7]. One way to advance such work is to improve decision support, communication and mutualunderstanding between operators and Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) users throughoutthe DED process.CAM user strategies, particularly for convergent DED, rely on operator input due to processcomplexity [8]. Operator experience leads to critical intuition with certain system constraints,design features and materials. For example, an operator might influence the decision at which pointin the process to transition from additive to subtractive processes, in order to maintain tool reachand access to unique or internal features [8]. Additionally, an operator might discuss situations

an inductive coding approach. First, all studentresponses were open-coded to identify key concepts. Inclusion criteria for themes required that aconcept appeared in at least 50% of responses and aligned with lean engineering andsustainability principles discussed in the course. Codes were grouped into broader themes basedon frequency and conceptual similarity. The three primary themes; Seeing Value, SupportiveEnvironment, and Student Efficacy, emerged as the most prevalent across student reflections.Figure 1 the study flow, beginning with the integration of the EOP framework into the course.Students then completed Photo-Voice assignments reflecting on their learning. These reflectionswere analyzed using the How Learning Works framework

development, and perceptions of the relevance of I&E education in thecontext of manufacturing.The evaluation data suggests that students valued the connection between manufacturing theory andentrepreneurial practices. Survey responses indicated that exposure to I&E concepts and resources in thecourse helped students develop an entrepreneurial mindset and identity. Additionally, the inclusion ofguest entrepreneurs and mentoring for practical NPD projects helped bridge the gap between academicconcepts and real-world manufacturing challenges. However, some students felt that this experience cametoo late in their curriculum to make a significant impact, that the I&E content did not add new insights,and that the implementation did not foster

vendors to deploy digitalisation solutions, which results in high vendor dependence and possible data privacy issues. This reliance typically leaves subject matter experts (SMEs) within the company powerless, since they do not possess the competency to apply, manage, or change these solutions on their own [5]. This encouraged us to create an academic curriculum integrating Project-based learning (PjBL) to upgrade manufacturing professionals. PjBL, investigated globally since the 80s [6], is a method of teaching that has participants discover real-world problems and practical problems, and resolves them through practical projects. This technique, in addition to an increased understanding of theoretical concepts, also develops necessary skills

provides valuable practical insights, it alsointroduces potential biases that must be carefully addressed to maintain the integrity andobjectivity of the research.Feasibility vs. Preferability Bias: The researcher’s close involvement in the program’soperational aspects may lead to an overemphasis on the feasibility of employer engagementactions—how easily employers can participate—rather than evaluating the preferability oreffectiveness of these actions in meeting broader program goals. There is a risk of prioritizingwhat works for the program logistics over what delivers the most value to employers and theiremployees.Instructor-Centric Bias: Another potential bias arises from the researcher’s dual role as aninstructor and program developer.

The third college cohort in Spring 2023 experienced the implementationof the ACE CNC Machining Training Program [1] incorporated into the first 6 weeks of thecourse while learning solely on the VF3. The ACE curriculum will be referred to as the ACEbootcamp for the remainder of this paper. The fourth college cohort in Spring 2024 continued touse the ACE bootcamp for the first 6 weeks of the course and used two HAAS MiniMill2s astheir primary CNC equipment for learning. The first high school cohort for the ACE bootcampwas taught over the course of four days during Spring Break 2024. This paper will focus on thefourth college and first
