wireless connections to machines; (LO3) identifyingproper sensors for measurement of desired data; (LO4) implementing data analytics and machinelearning tools for extraction of desired information; and (LO5) demonstrating personal andprofessional development in communication and management in the context of smartmanufacturing. The course was coupled with laboratory reports, written reports, and oralpresentations to achieve these objectives and capture evidence of students' learning and skillsdevelopment.Of particular relevance for this course was the integration of ELT principles to coordinate andorchestrate the laboratory assignments that built the necessary skills and practices so studentswould successfully complete their semester-long projects

techniques, continues to evolve withtechnological advancements and new applications. Staying competitive in this field requires notonly technical expertise but also entrepreneurial skills, including knowledge of market strategies,financial management, and client relations [10]. Recognizing the lack of accessible OERs andhands-on training materials for casting, Project R2 developed practical exercises anddemonstrations using commonly available metals and portable foundry-in-a-box kits [11]. Theseresources are designed to bring sand-casting education into classrooms and laboratories,empowering students and educators to explore this essential manufacturing process innovatively[12].In summary, Project R2 bridges critical gaps in STEM education by

the DefenseManufacturing Communities Support Program (DMCSP) and its adaptation to collegecurriculum. This 2-day intensive course introduced participants to rapid tool making methodsbased on 3D printing. Indirect and direct rapid tooling were covered with hands-on activitiesincluding use of software tools. Tooling for multiple processes such as plastic injection molding,sand casting, room temperature vulcanization (RTV) as well as machining jig and fixture designwere included in the curriculum with demonstrations or laboratory exercises. Main targetaudience was technical personnel from small and medium size manufacturing companies, eventhough it was open to similar personnel from all size of companies including start-ups.

providinginformation on what it is like to work at a shipyard.The guest lecture from the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) provides information onthe Federal Government’s role in military shipbuilding and naval systems. NAVSEA includessubordinate commands which include Supervisor of Shipbuilding, Conversion and Repair(SUPSHIP) which has a role similar to ABS as it relates to the design and construction ofmilitary ships. So, the role and activities at SUPSHIP is covered in this guest lecture. Further,the role of the Navy research and technology development laboratories is discussed as well as theactivities at the NAVSEA Headquarters office at the Washington D. C. Navy Yard.

. Figure 3. Robert Morris bust before its restorationThe project team included the lead author, a graduate assistant, and the laboratory engineer. AKonica Minolta Vivid 910 scanner (Figure 4a), a laser scanner, was used for the digitizationprocess. The camera had the ability to capture large free-form objects with a dimensionalaccuracy of 0.127 mm. Because of the geometric complexity of the bust, special attention had tobe paid to cavities and shiny surfaces. Since the scanner did not have the flexibility to reachhard-to-access details, the scanning process became more tedious than originally expected.
