While product development processes with a sustainable focus are being implementedin industry, little effort has been devoted to developing a generalized theory of SPD suitable forintegration within educational curriculum.

Itprovides a clear graphical outline of the core content of manufacturing programs. The four pillarsmodel has been adopted by the accreditation groups in ABET and ATMAE, through the SME.The four pillars model groups specific knowledge and skills into topic- and process-basedcategories. The content of the Four Pillars model has been related to industry practices includinga recent study by Nutter5. Therefore, an assessment plan that maps an academic curriculum to thefour pillars can directly establish an industry relevance.This paper outlines a process for

expose more students to the makerspace and to leverage making in helping studentslearn engineering concepts while applying them in projects. Both women and men had a near equaltendency to request a more integrated curriculum that includes utilizing the makerspace intoassignments, as a direct function of these students valuing making as an integral part ofengineering. For example, Waldo, a white man, discussed his idea to better integrate making intothe curriculum. We do have students coming in from a handful of classes that want to use the printers for their projects, but it's not as integrated into the curriculum as I think it should be. That's something we're definitely working on. Talking to professors saying, ‘Hey

intriguing was the fact that even students that were awarded competitive academic scholarships (top grades and very high SAT scores) left their respective engineering programs after their first year, expressing anxiety with core engineering course (calculus) affecting their ability to maintain their required GPA and thus result in loss of their scholarship [4]. Consequently, there is a need to develop a first-year engineering curriculum that takes into consideration the diverse academic, social, cultural, and economic backgrounds of an incoming class of students. Although academically well prepared, today’s student lack the discipline to be individually responsible for the largely self-directed study required in college [5

There were a few mismatches between academic and manufacturingpriorities, most notably in automotive and electronics manufacturing. Recommendation: Alternative energy and biomedical manufacturing should be very high priorities.
