However conventional turbomachines are too large andheavy for a host of new applications in military, homeland security, transportation, aerospace,and other commercial applications. To address these needs, research is being conducted todevelop novel micro turbomachinery systems that are small, lightweight, fuel efficient, andportable. The interdisciplinary areas of research in which students can participate includedynamics, mechanics, microfluidics, electronics, thermal science, material science

After completing his course work at the University of Kiril I Metodi, Skopje, Macedonia, he transferred to the United States in 1991, where he continued his engineering education at Purdue Uni- versity. He obtained a master’s of science degree in engineering in 2003. In the meantime, he worked as a project engineer for an engineering consulting company and as an adjunct faculty at Ivy Tech Community College. Intermittently, Sikoski has performed consulting for various institutions and organizations. In 1997, he started his career at Ivy
of the manufacturing field. 2. By identifying respondents with their focus among six different types of academic programs, the survey responses provide insights on the differences in relative importance of the large number of topics that make up the manufacturing field. 3. The survey results show that there are meaningful differences among the variety of types of manufacturing programs and that the Four Pillars model is useful in curriculum planning. While not being prescriptive, the model can help educators tailor their programs to meet the needs of the industries served and the career expectations of their graduates.The Four Pillars of Manufacturing

American Society for Engineering Education, 2012 A Low-Cost Manufacturing Outreach Activity for Elementary School StudentsMany postsecondary manufacturing programs across the country are exploring ways to reach outto K-12 students to help attract the next generation of students into Science, Technology,Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) careers. One effort to increase students’ interest in suchcareers involves exposing them to STEM concepts through field trips to science centers, spacecenters, universities, etc. Unfortunately, with ever-tightening budgets many school districts arecutting back on field trips and extra-curricular activities that often accompany STEM outreachactivities. This paper describes
successful careers in manufacturing engineering and allied professions.The curriculum consists of 63 credit hours of engineering fundamental and manufacturing core,33 credit hours of mathematics and science and 31 credit hours of general education courses toprepare students for engineering practice as required by ABET 1 (Criterion 4) and to meet theUniversity’s general educational requirements as well.The process of fourteen outcomes developed for the MANE program at Virginia State Universityalong with the methodology of assessment was described 2.

such as 3Dprinting, computer modeling and automated manufacturing the skills needed by workers are muchmore different today than in the past. The sizes of facilities has drastically reduced and manycompanies are making only a few very specialized products. The goal of the alliance is to get kidsin middle and high school interested in these types of careers, which can help employ more peoplelocally and grow the manufacturing in the city. There are thousands of manufacturers in the citythat have trouble finding qualified employees, which makes programs in high schools and middleschools that can teach how to work on the equipment for modern manufacturing as well as howthat equipment produces the products.Presentation #6Title: So......What Does

The personal assessment consists of a list of predetermined questionsthat ask about the career plan of students after graduation and about their desire to developand pursue an idea or business of their own. Based on the results, very few students showedlittle or no desire to be an entrepreneur. A large majority of the students showed a moderateinterest in being an entrepreneur, however, their degree of interest showed that they wereopen to the entrepreneurship but they were not likely to devote a lot of time to pursue it. Theywere much more likely to go out and find a job
