became more focused on hands-onproject-based teaching approaches, used more interactive, open-ended problems, and requiredmore feedback about the problem-solving process which is proven to be more effective and canlead to increased student learning [1]. Several teaching approaches were implemented to improve student’s leaning outcomes byintegrating active/passive learning and real life projects. For example, Graham et al. [2] used thePaul-Elder framework of critical thinking to define and operationalize critical thinking for theElectrical and Computer Engineering program students. Students are taught explicitly aboutcritical thinking followed by explicit critical thinking exercises in the introduction to engineeringcourse to prepare

ableto use that theory in the lab to manufacture, troubleshoot, test, and analyze tooling, parts, andmaterials [1].PCE 372 is an introductory course into room temperature curing composite materials,manufacturing, and testing. Previously students would learn the basics of hand lay-up and resininfusion independently of tooling considerations. The students were given only one option,polyurethane foam. This led to a gap in learning and, instead of considering tooling at thebeginning of a project, it was often left as an afterthought. Even then tooling was only a minorconsideration as most students chose to use the method they were presented with in lab and notbranch out to other methods that might have been more appropriate for their

iscritical to the nation’s economy. However, the industry faces increasing difficulty finding skilledworkers to fulfill their workforce needs. It is estimated that within the next decade there will be3.5 million available manufacturing jobs and of those, at least 2 million will go unfilled [1].Currently, up to 89% of manufacturers cannot find skilled workers to fill open job positions [2].One potential cause of this skills gap is thought to be the poor perceptions of manufacturingcareers held by the general public. A Deloitte study showed that while a majority of American’shave positive perceptions about the future workforce in manufacturing, less than 50% believemanufacturing to be a rewarding career and one-third would not encourage their children

Engineering activities for middleschool students are mostly reduced to simple “applied science” experiments, withoutintroduction to realistic scenarios [1].During the past two years, during summer terms, the authors developed two activities designatedfor STEM Girls’ Summer Camp, held over a week period. However, each activity was only twohours long and accommodated about fifteen middle school girls age 11 to 14 years old (entering6th to 8th grade).

However, lab time is often limited,students often have to share equipment, and labs need to be completed in a fixed time. As aresult, some academic institutions are interested in using remote lab experiences to complementor supplement local lab experiences [1], [2].Additive manufacturing (AM) systems—also known as rapid prototyping (RP) or 3D printingsystems—have received much attention in recent years due to their flexibility in making partsranging from simple to complex, ease-of-setup for production, and ease of maintenance.

A P-20 Learning Assessment for Manufacturing Organizations In the United States (U.S.), there is a need for the industry to be able to assess theiremployees’ education and knowledge. Engineering educators and industry representativesreferred to as Chief Learning Officers (CLO) are determining methods to assess and improvetheir employees’ education and skills [1]. This paper provides an explanation on how theindustry can assess the employees’ knowledge and skill levels. The manufacturing environmentin the U.S. has changed from transferring high volumes of manufactured devices to low-costproduction centers outside the U.S. to returning these products to be manufactured domestically[2]. The transfer to China of manufacturing occurred in
