incorporating additional skills like self-reflection and emotionalintelligence into the engineering curriculum.IntroductionIt is generally known that soft skills are necessary to support a successful career. Employers havecontinually voiced concerns about college students not being ready for the demands of theworkplace in terms of their personal and team-based soft skills. As a result, we focused ourefforts to design and implement a set of soft skills modules that can be seamlessly integrated intothe technical curriculum. This paper focuses on development and delivery of such soft skillmodules at the high school level to help prepare students for college and careers.After receiving grant funding from the Claude Worthington Benedum Foundation, the cross

Students are programming roboticsystems, developing medical devices, leveraging 3D printing techniques, and more [14].In the years since its founding in December of 2014, CDME has experienced much success bothfinancially as well as in student outcomes. By exposing undergraduates to the wide range of workopportunities in manufacturing, CDME believes it has increased the number of students interested inpursuing a career in this industry. Simultaneously, CDME is an excellent recruitment and retainment toolfor undergraduate students seeking both pay to help offset the cost of

Bridge and Internship ProgramsAbstractUndergraduate students need exposure, initiation, motivation, and guidance to develop anorientation toward research that will benefit them not only in their capstone projects but also intheir future careers. Elizabeth City State University (ECSU) made such an opportunity availableto the rising junior and senior students of the Engineering Technology program.Fifteen rising junior students were selected to participate in the summer bridge program, and fourrising junior and senior students were selected to participate in a summer internship program atthe Coast Guard's aircraft facility. The project's scope was to engage students in designing,prototyping, and fabricating Unmanned Aircraft Vehicles (UAVs) and

Despite theseconcerns, the majority of students responded positively, indicating that their labs and projects preparedthem for future endeavors and appreciated the limited autonomy to explore their own ideas. Theintegration of entrepreneurial education into the manufacturing curriculum has shown promising results inencouraging engineering students to engage more deeply with I&E programming. The outcomes of thisproject suggest students see some value in I&E content integration and that there exists a viable path forother engineering departments to foster entrepreneurial thinking in their students.

To attract the younger generation to machining industry careers, more attention needs to bepaid to incorporating novel training methods that are more appealing and engaging to youngerstudents. Interactive training programs with game-like elements (gamified training programs) arepotentially a viable solution to effectively addressing the shortcomings of traditional trainingmethods.The process of gamification, defined as implementation of game-specific mechanics anddynamics in non-gaming applications [5] has been of interest in machining-related applications,including workforce development.

This course showed how these tools are used to schedule, manufacture,and supervise shipbuilding. Overall, I felt this course to be helpful in both, providing a goodcontext of shipbuilding for anyone interested in pursuing careers related to it and in explaininghow management tools are used to prepare anyone interested in pursuing other managementcareers.” Although anecdotal in

Addressingquestions in person through a raised hand while concurrently tracking camera feeds of remoteclassrooms and raised hands in Zoom is mentally taxing and can slow the pace of lectures. Somestudents are not comfortable with asking questions during a lecture, which means more timemust be allocated after the lecture to address questions from remote students who prefer to hold adiscussion without such a large (multi-campus) audience. One participant indicated that teachinga multi-campus requires an additional 30 minutes before and after each scheduled lecture.Early career instructors also suffer hardship through student evaluations of teaching in multi-campus courses.

One crucial task is to teach students how to use moderntechnology to evaluate the quality of AM parts because AM has not reached the point of competingwith traditional manufacturing in terms of surface finish and repeatability. Moreover, the printedparts are often treated as black boxes with invisible defects, such as pores and cracks. Such non-transparency significantly challenges the qualification and certification of additively manufacturedparts.

Corrosion and its negative effects are often discussed in education, but processes toprevent or reduce corrosion are rarely integrated into laboratory classes.
