S.manufacturing industry.MotivationSkilled labor is at crisis-level shortages both at home and abroad, with over 10 million skilledlabor jobs remaining vacant worldwide [1], and up to 600,000 positions in Americanmanufacturing companies [2]. That shortage is unlikely to abate in the near term. A global studyby McKinsey & Company predicts a need for 95 million skilled workers by 2020, whilesimultaneously anticipating a surplus of low-skill workers that reaches the same heady number.Currently, studies show that with 67% of manufacturers reporting a moderate to severe shortage

OverviewEngineers use the analytical and math-based components of design, simulation, programming,and modeling to develop new products. As Tennessee strives to encourage more high schoolstudents to prepare for and enter STEM careers, early induction into the way STEMprofessionals think and work is essential [1]. Students need to encounter these engineeringconcepts in mathematics and science courses to prepare for STEM-based high school technicalcourses, post-secondary STEM training, and to build a strong foundation in critical thinking andproblem-solving skills. DTF teacher-participants in grades 9-10 (math, science, and CTE)manipulate a number of cutting-edge software tools as they learn how similar activities caneasily be replicated in the high school

improvement upon the primitive design-build-test sequence. Thesustainable product development leadership framework is generated by expanding the triplebottom line concept into seven core principles which form a sustainability vision for inspiringcompanies. The seven principles are – 1) Purpose, 2) Policy, 3) Process, 4) People, 5) Planet, 6)Product, and 7) Profit. Additionally, the paper discusses a strategy for implementing sustainableproduct development into engineering technology programs. The proposed strategy will relyupon an integrated learning pedagogy, in which the concepts are introduced in a technologyorientation course and reinforced in a capstone product development course.

-and-trade legislation rises to politically unsustainable levels. Thereformation needs of green engineering education are driven by dramatic changes in the practicesof U.S. companies in recent years. Briefly, these changes can be summarized as follows: (1)Complexity – Green design has become an extremely distributed activity; (2) Globalization –Most of the large U.S. industrial manufacturers have operations outside of the United States dueto the lower cost of utilizing natural resources outside of the U.S.as well as the importance ofexpanding to new markets, etc.; (3) Environmental Awareness – There is an increased perceptionof the need for environmental consciousness practices.
