These resultssuggest that interdisciplinary, centralized teaching training programs, even when not discipline-specific, can be a valuable experience for graduate students. The study highlights the TPI’spotential as a useful tool in teaching development and underscores the broader applicability ofgeneral pedagogical training across fields.IntroductionGraduate training is an expectation of most faculty in the United States

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
