Makers are individuals who design andbuild new devices and share their experiences with others. Universities provideopportunities to wake up the dormant geniuses of such individuals among studentswho sometimes may not be turned-on by the traditional classroom teaching.

, academic engineering curricula tends to focus on developing thetechnical skills of the students, overlooking the soft skills or 21st century skills that are just asimportant. The 21st century skills include critical thinking, communication, teamworkcollaboration, metacognitive awareness, and creativity. Developing such skills will enable futureengineers to effectively engage in interdisciplinary endeavors and adapt to changes in nationalpolicies and emergent technologies. This paper presents a project that integrates 21st century skilldevelopment (i.e., metacognitive awareness, constructive thinking, and communication) into amanufacturing systems course.
