Patient groupswere invited to gauge the benefits desired by patients from the technologies and what risk maybe acceptable to patients.The first workshop topic was the use of additive manufacturing for production of medicaldevices. Several industry representatives, both from companies who develop the additivemanufacturing equipment as well as those in the medical and aerospace industries who currentlyproduce additively manufactured products, presented information on the capabilities of thetechnologies and benefits compared to traditional manufacturing.

These practices would enhancepreparedness and marketability of engineering graduates into the twenty-first century work force.Systems engineering is a relatively new approach to the design of large and complex engineeringsystems. The engineering community and the aerospace industry initiated this new approach tothe design of large systems in 1960s. As the systems became large and complex the conventionalengineering design approach for such systems was not adequate. There were questions about thecost, schedule, and performance issues for the entire life cycle of such large

For rare andcontrolled materials, business cases are more difficult to find but examples exist that connect therarity or market scarcity to high costs associated with extraction or capital investment.Both the technical and the business spheres are influenced greatly by policy; governmental,public, or private.
