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
