understand Millennial and Generation Z student manufacturing perception whileworking to get students interested in manufacturing careers through coursework, internships, andco-op experiences. The generation divisions are often argued about, but Millennials aregenerally thought of as being born from the early 1980s to the mid-1990s with Generation Zfollowing. Millennials can be defined as those born from 1981 to 1996, with Generation Zfollowing from 1997 on. The results of over five years of questionnaire data shows that a well-designed manufacturing processes course equipped with hands-on labs, plant visits, andmanufacturing job fairs can be effective in changing student’s perception of manufacturing. It isalso shown that campus location may play a

Many undergraduate students inengineering and engineering technology programs did not come for Career and TechnicalEducation (CTE) programs and often welding career pathway which is available under CTEprograms in many regions is disconnected from engineering technology and engineering careerpathway. Somehow that link in between the making part of engineering and engineeringtechnology was broken after there was a trend to shift engineering programs more towardsengineering science, and engineering technology program more to teaching computer integratedmanufacturing, product lifecycle management, Internet

three factors to remaincompetitive: “advanced knowledge,” “advanced processes,” and “advanced business models.”This study is both timely and important because in a dynamic field such as AM, educators andindustry leaders must work together to meet workforce needs. Clear understanding of AM caninform competency models, bodies of knowledge, and empirical research that documents school-to-career pathways. Both our findings and our methods may shed light on the nature of relatedtechnical fields and offer industry and education strategies to ensure their alignment.OverviewHaving a strong domestic manufacturing base is vital to the United States innovation leadership.Technology-rich advanced manufacturing (AM) provides an important foundation for

Engineering Technology Education. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2019 Introducing Middle School Girls to Engineering Design and Manufacturing Activities at STEM Girls’ Summer CampIntroductionDuring the past decade, STEM-oriented education and activities have proved to enhance middleschool students’ interest in subjects usually perceived as difficult, such as mathematics andscience. Also, STEM fields tend to engage students in the learning process, giving them the skillsand competencies needed for future careers. Despite the overall efforts to include STEMsubjects, the engineering component is almost missing in most middle school curricula across thenation. Moreover, students from

Role of engineering decisionmaking in engineers’ careers is another focal point of this paper including human error asdemonstrated by Safety and Methods and Engineering Management Cases courses. Evaluation ofstudent work in some of these courses is also presented.The paper is concluded with a design proposal of a senior level elective on critical thinking inmanufacturing engineering.IntroductionIn the Tufts University’s Electrical and Computer Engineering Design Handbook aimed for theirseniors, Michael Tran tries to answer the question of what critical thinking is [2

such as 3Dprinting, computer modeling and automated manufacturing the skills needed by workers are muchmore different today than in the past. The sizes of facilities has drastically reduced and manycompanies are making only a few very specialized products. The goal of the alliance is to get kidsin middle and high school interested in these types of careers, which can help employ more peoplelocally and grow the manufacturing in the city. There are thousands of manufacturers in the citythat have trouble finding qualified employees, which makes programs in high schools and middleschools that can teach how to work on the equipment for modern manufacturing as well as howthat equipment produces the products.Presentation #6Title: So......What Does

The post-lecture resultsshow that introducing new simulation tools are very appreciated for their future career as engineersand this is a good outcome compared with the pre-lecture survey which shows that about 80% ofstudents in this class do not know the simulation tool Tolanalyst© in SolidWorks. Also, about 80%mentioned that working on the in-class project enriches their understanding of the topics. It isinteresting to note that adding simulation tools to the project assignment does not require aconsiderable amount of time from the students. According to the post-lecture
