Businesses should consider working with local school systems to aid in thedevelopment of a curriculum which will help to support their future employment needs. In somecases, employees could be sent to attend engineering programs to improve their design andcritical thinking skills. The term CLO in manufacturing represents an organizational position that has not oftenbeen utilized. The position often reports to the CEO with a dotted line to the Human Resourceofficer. The success of the CLO is aligned with the strategies and business philosophy of themanufacturing organization [9]. Organizations may expect

At the same time, many engineering programs in theU.S. now provide students with access to high-tech “maker spaces” to manufacture their designsfor student projects (Wilczynski, 2015).

However, those skills once considered “soft” areincreasingly necessary not just to climb the corporate ladder, but even to access the first rung.Chief among those newly necessary soft skills is the ability to work as a member of a team. Thebig question is how to impart soft-skill lessons, especially in the academic environment whereoutcomes assessment is increasingly more important.In one form or another, though, team projects are an integral part of the manufacturing educationexperience.

Strong alignment is the key to cultivating student interestin STEM and manufacturing. To meet these challenges, we have initiated the following changes in the 2019 program: 1.Recruit teachers whose area of teaching is directly related to engineering applications especiallyin the manufacturing sector; 2. Allow teachers to design a smaller curriculum unit so it is easier tofit in their teaching assignment; 3. Encourage teachers to inspire intrinsic motivation amongstudents to learn the
