novel topics such as AI and IoT related to AM. Second, manyunderserved students are not aware of the opportunities, benefits, and job security related to theAM field. Providing underserved students with access to relevant resources and activities maybenefit them in fostering awareness of AM jobs and developing career interests in pursuing an AMcareer at their early ages.MethodologyNeeds assessmentTo identify the specific gap in what needs to be taught and what has been taught in the currentmanufacturing curriculum, our team reviewed the curriculum for the cluster of manufacturing inlocal schools and school districts, Project Lead the Way (PLTW) courses on manufacturing (e.g.,Principles of Engineering for Grades 11-12, Digital Electronics for

curriculum engineering courses [9]. Understanding the technologies and hands-onpractice become critical for a successful career in manufacturing engineering. Therefore, educationcurriculum needs to be formed to prepare students to meet the challenges of advanced intelligentmanufacturing industries [10]. In this paper, an innovative empirical methodology based on i4.0technologies has been developed to be used to create sustainable procedures to the interoperationsof manufacturing systems. Implementing IIoT and digital cloud to the curriculum to provide real-time detection of unplanned behavior, fast correction response, and system data documentation forthe analysis will help in understanding manufacturing operations. The methodology is to build

methodology of Systems Engineering tothe students of a graduate Manufacturing and Industrial Engineering program at the University ofTexas Rio Grande Valley. This graduate course was initially developed to be a part of a traditionalface-to-face lecture-based curriculum; however, with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, it wasrestructured and discoursed coursed in an online format. This paper discusses on course structureused to enforce online systems engineering over weeks. This included addressing the basicconcepts of systems engineering to provide the student's knowledge to facilitate the transformationof operational needs to a well-defined system. Further, students reviewed the iterative designprocess of problem formulation, analysis, optimization
