Word cloud from student commentsIn the third set of questions, students were asked about their future career interest: (1) Do youhave a job offer? (2) Do you prefer to work in manufacturing? (3) Do you think soft skills are asimportant as technical skills? and (4) Do you think soft skills impact employee performance andproductivity? The results of these four questions are shown in Figure 8. The vast majority of thestudents perceive that soft skills are just as important as technical skills. All students agree thatsoft skills can impact

Thus papers in this realm addresswhat are normally called pipeline issues (getting students in to the majors) as well as why they shouldconsider manufacturing as a career. This has always been a point of interest and concern but the datashow much more attention was paid to it in the last decade as opposed to the previous decade. The needof manufacturing students to be competent in communication, inter-personal skills, teamwork

and industry.IntroductionA Master of Science in Engineering Management degree is designed to help technicalprofessionals take the next step in their careers as they ‘graduate’ to a management orientedcareer. Such a degree prepares technical professionals to deal with topics such as costmanagement, world-class manufacturing, workplace safety and ergonomics, leadership, andquality control. This paper deals with a curriculum development effort which was recentlyundertaken at a university in the southeast United States for development of a concentration insafety engineering.Any degree in engineering management with a concentration in safety engineering is generallyfound to be targeted towards principally four kinds of audiences.

From the introduction of suchbasic tools as Statistical Quality Control – SQC (and its subsequent evolution intoStatistical Process Control – SPC) to the Six Sigma philosophy and methodologies,“quality” has gone from something done because “the customer said so” to a corporatesurvival strategy. Many formal tools (such as those listed in the Abstract above) havebeen developed to standardize the concepts and vocabulary of quality.

Clear understanding of AM caninform competency models, bodies of knowledge, and empirical research that documents school-to-career pathways. Both our findings and our methods may shed light on the nature of relatedtechnical fields and offer industry and education strategies to ensure their alignment.OverviewHaving a strong domestic manufacturing base is vital to the United States innovation leadership.Technology-rich advanced manufacturing (AM) provides an important foundation for

Although it is understood that variousinstitutions and industries will have different priorities, this does offer the opportunity to considerwhich ones might be appropriate for emphasis. Alternatively, those considered less important might bereviewed to see if they represent a disproportionate component of an existing curriculum.

6% of STEM workers and Hispanics representing 7% ofSTEM workers [7].Traditional efforts to increase participation in STEM fields have been largely focused on improving themath and science curriculum through better recruitment and training of teachers with scholarships, loan-forgiveness, and higher pay. However, “not enough STEM graduates means not enough STEM teachers,regardless of incentives [8].” An alternative is to expose students to STEM fields early and induce them tochoose STEM careers. For example, 65% of scientists with advanced degrees developed their scienceinterest before middle school [9]. However, in underserved populations, it is not necessarily lack of theawareness of STEM fields but the socio-economic barriers that prevent

It seems that many manufacturing companies are currently hesitant to expand in the area of simulation due to tighter budgets. However, when something arises where those same companies need some work done in 3D, we are more than happy to step in and do the work for them!4.
