students are trained to do original work; as are two year associ-ates, who work as lab technicians and four year technologists. They are not needed strictly forrepetitive work. Their job description includes developing job-related tools.I will illustrate this process with a few projects from my own experience in the aerospace indus-try. Each is broken down into the seven steps to show that these basic steps are always thereeven though I didn’t recognize them myself, at the time.My experiences are typical: Aerospace engineers compete by developing proposals for new work.When a contract is awarded we went to work on challenges which frequently had never beendone before. Many engineers have had similar careers.The experiments ranged from miniaturized

Our fifteencounselors had smaller breakout groups to teach campers more about the topic of the day.Campers did one activity in the morning and then a second, competition-based activity in theafternoon. Campers were introduced to a wide range of engineering topics, as middle-schoolstudents often do not exactly know what engineers do. Providing variety helped introduce themto different types of engineering to explore and consider, and each day highlighted a differentdiscipline of engineering by introducing the topic via a lecture and following it up with a hands-on activity. The types of engineering and activities highlighted were aerospace

Manufacturersrely on FANUC automation from small shops to large assembly operations; manufacturers rely onFANUC automation to help improve productivity, increase quality, maximize profits, and maintaina competitive edge [24]. Automotive, Aerospace, Agricultural, Electronics, Food and Beverage,Medical and Pharmaceutical, and Oil and Gas are just a few industries from the vast pool ofindustries that use Fanuc robots. Various sensors such as vision systems are crucial for advancingindustrial robots to achieve industry 4.0 and automate more manufacturing tasks [25].

takeaway from the workshops attended in year two was that longer, more in-depthtraining was more valuable than the mini-briefings for instilling the entrepreneurial mindset inthe faculty.Seminar speaker Dr. J.-D.

After the cohort had attended the trainings, one monthly meeting was spentexamining the expanded

sure way not to get hired. Hands-on abilities (e.g., do they work on their own car, fix their own computer, etc.); while it is easier than ever to determine if a design will work based solely on computer simulations and CAD software, these are still not flawless and software often does not always indicate whether all of the parts can actually be reasonably made. Relevant hobbies outside of school such as building model airplanes, working on a farm, restoring old cars, etc.; for example, being a pilot is of particular interest to companies in the aerospace industry.
