manufacturing category were $1.094B in August 2011, a 6% jump from $0.9464B inAugust 20103. This trend is likely to continue to increase as the manufacturing sector continuesto transform to a high tech, high value added, less labor-intensive industry using advancedautomated systems.Workers who can create, maintain and operate these advanced automated systems are not easy tofind. Even in troubled economic times, U.S. manufacturers have been experiencing a skillsshortage in the area of industrial automation4. The aging of the manufacturing workforceexacerbates the problem. DeLong5 notes that the oil and gas production industry can expect tolose more than 60 percent of its employees by 2010. As baby boomers age, the U.S. government,energy, education

She earned a NSF CAREER award and was nominated for Michigan Professor of the Year in 2014. Research within her Medical micro-Device Engineering Research Laboratory (M.D. – ERL) also inspires the development of Desktop Experiment Modules (DEMos) for use in chemical engineering classrooms or as outreach ac- tivities in area schools (see www.mderl.org). Adrienne is currently Chair of ASEE’s Diversity Committee and PIC I Chair; she has previously served on WIED, ChED, and NEE leadership teams and contributed to 37 ASEE conference proceedings articles.Prof. Tom J Waidzunas, Temple University

training inthe Midwest region, which is heavily dependent on manufacturing, have led to the proposal toestablish a photonics education center in the Midwest.A group of stakeholders including 16 photonics industry representatives, five educators, and twoOP-TEC representatives originally met in 2010 and formed a Midwest photonics cluster. As aresult of this meeting, new partnerships were formed and plans were made to move forward withthe pursuit of a regional center. In 2011, a planning grant (NSF Award #1104083) was receivedand utilized to develop the foundation for the creation of the Midwest Photonics EducationCenter (MPEC). The work of the planning grant included identifying additional educationalinstitutions, partnering with OP-TEC on a
