─ AbstractThis is the third of four invited panel papers prepared specifically for the National Collaborative TaskForce Engineer-Leaders Project. The Project concerns the deliberate advancement of professionalgraduate engineering education relevant to the needs of creative engineering practice in industry toenhance U.S. technological innovation and competitiveness. The strength of the innovation and leadershipcapacity of America’s professional engineering base in our civilian, aerospace, and defense industries is acritical asset in our global economic recovery. As with other learned professions, there are progressiveskill-sets and actions that must be learned or developed at the advanced levels of the practice ofengineering. This series of papers
Implementing a Multi-faceted Approach for Promoting Diversity in Graduate Engineering EducationAbstractFor the past several years, we have, through panel discussions and presentations, been engagedin exploring how to encourage diversity in graduate engineering education. While thepercentages of women and minorities earning engineering graduate degrees are increasing, theystill (except for women at the masters' level) lag behind the percentages earning bachelor'sdegrees. A diverse graduate population is important because engineers with graduate trainingwill be at the forefront of leadership and change, in both academia and industry, as we confrontthe many ways in which we will need to make creative use of technology in the coming

removed from a block or a billet. AM developed out of rapidprototyping technologies, invented thirty years ago. The pace of evolution of the technology toadditive manufacturing is noteworthy caused mainly by quality and value addition which Additivemanufacturing proposes in the product development process: shorter lead times, less waste, andcompetitive products. With the emergence and proliferation of the technology, there is an increaseddemand of workforce which can understand principles of Additive manufacturing processes andoptimally apply it to solve real life world problems.This paper investigates existing efforts in Additive manufacturing education and its implicationsin engineering education research.
