The main goal is to create multiple opportunities to teach and reinforcesoft skills within the regular technical curriculum in the high schools. This paper discussesthe integration of the soft skills modules into the technical curriculum developed viaexamples, and outlines its potential uses in this engineering department’s curriculumincluding its manufacturing engineering program. The paper concludes with a discussion ofthe implementation of this project and provides some preliminary feedback from theparticipating high schools and reflections of the authors. It also includes future workopportunities such as

Specifically, the 2023-2024 Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) criterion 5d states, “The curriculum mustinclude a culminating major engineering design experience that 1) incorporates appropriateengineering standards and multiple constraints, and 2) is based on the knowledge and skillsacquired in earlier course work.” [1] Also, the Engineering Technology AccreditationCommission (ETAC) criterion 3 states student outcomes of “an ability to conduct standard tests,measurements, and experiments and to analyze and interpret the results” (3.A.4) and “an abilityto conduct standard tests, measurements, and experiments

One such area of the curriculum is CAD/CAM and CNC. In this paper wewill review some important advances in technology in this area that are being integrated into amanufacturing engineering curriculum. These include CAM part programming using sophisticatedtool path generation capabilities that promote high speed and high efficiency machining,programming multi-axis machining operations, the use of various measurement techniques toquantify variation and efficiency of CNC operations, and the use of advanced simulation andverification techniques to develop insight into and

In the traditional on-ground setting,educational institutions have tailored their curricula to provide comprehensive AM instruction,integrating theoretical foundations with practical hands-on experiences in physical laboratorysettings [21]. This approach ensures the acquisition of fundamental knowledge and thedevelopment of essential skills. In contrast, online education in AM has flourished in recentyears, catering to a global audience seeking

However,they will change the way we approach our daily work and the education required to get there.There are obvious concerns about academic integrity with this tool. In the

discussed as a critical area to integrate the operator 4.0/5.0 research space[7]. One way to advance such work is to improve decision support, communication and mutualunderstanding between operators and Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) users throughoutthe DED process.CAM user strategies, particularly for convergent DED, rely on operator input due to processcomplexity [8]. Operator experience leads to critical intuition with certain system constraints,design features and materials. For example, an operator might influence the decision at which pointin the process to transition from additive to subtractive processes, in order to maintain tool reachand access to unique or internal features [8]. Additionally, an operator might discuss situations

Survey responses indicated that exposure to I&E concepts and resources in thecourse helped students develop an entrepreneurial mindset and identity. Additionally, the inclusion ofguest entrepreneurs and mentoring for practical NPD projects helped bridge the gap between academicconcepts and real-world manufacturing challenges. However, some students felt that this experience cametoo late in their curriculum to make a significant impact, that the I&E content did not add new insights,and that the implementation did not foster

vendors to deploy digitalisation solutions, which results in high vendor dependence and possible data privacy issues. This reliance typically leaves subject matter experts (SMEs) within the company powerless, since they do not possess the competency to apply, manage, or change these solutions on their own [5]. This encouraged us to create an academic curriculum integrating Project-based learning (PjBL) to upgrade manufacturing professionals. PjBL, investigated globally since the 80s [6], is a method of teaching that has participants discover real-world problems and practical problems, and resolves them through practical projects. This technique, in addition to an increased understanding of theoretical concepts, also develops necessary skills

Dominant 86% ofrespondents chose Option c (not at all), reflecting a lack of integration of sustainability anddigital twin principles in the current engineering curriculum. This stark contrast with the otheroptions highlights a gap in the inclusion of these critical concepts within academic courses. Thesubstantial difference between Option c and the other choices indicates that sustainability anddigital twin technologies are not being sufficiently addressed within the curriculum, which maypoint to an area for curriculum

The adoption of a dynamometer andaccelerometer enriches the curriculum in our Manufacturing Automation course. In that course,we have one chapter introducing analog sensors to students. Nevertheless, we previously focusedon low cost sensors such as thermocouple and RTD due to restriction of equipment, a dynamometercost approximately $65k to $70k, and an accelerometer costs from $700 to $2000.
