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

partners,private industry, state government, and federal government, provide students the opportunity to work inan environment that matches their experience after graduation. 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

the level of creativity or autonomy they desired. 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. Students' preferencessuggest including I&E content early in their academic careers and

The K-12 outreach workshops aretargeted at inspiring young students to pursue further learning and potential careers in METAL.The Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 curriculum is targeted to a broad audience from young adultsthrough “gray” adults with increasing level number corresponding to more job/ industry specifictrainings and the study of more advanced technologies and research topics. The overall targetedaudience for the METAL program is said to be “K to Gray.” Table 1. Primary contributions to the METAL program by partner organizations. Organization Contribution IACMI program

They also valued the independence and ownershipthey were given, combined with the close and constant interactions with their mentors.Besides the focus group, data was gathered through surveys during Spring 2022 from all sixparticipants who participated in the focus group described above, as well as from fourparticipants who worked on the project beyond Spring 2022 until the date of collection of thisdata in Spring 2023. Two of the four students were returning students, while the other two werenew to the project. Finally, two of the six students surveyed in Spring 2022

enrollment and retentionrates. 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. As video games are designed with the goal of providingenjoyment to the user, potential benefits of gamification include enhanced

classifications where I learned the different types and uses for differentships in the world and the US. As someone who started with no knowledge on this industry, Ifelt I finished the course with a better concept of the shipbuilding industry… Apart from learningabout ship organization internationally, I learned about some tools that I had seen in theory incourses previously taken. 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

, we expand access tovaluable manufacturing education beyond traditional classroom settings. Metal casting is oftenperceived as resource-intensive and inaccessible to many students due to equipment costs andsafety concerns, but this module democratizes learning by providing step-by-step guidance anddemonstrations in a digital format [16]. Through YouTube, students, educators, and hobbyistsworldwide can learn about foundry techniques, engage with the content through discussions, andapply the knowledge in their own learning environments. Making this module freely availablesupports the broader mission of engineering education by fostering inclusivity, promoting hands-on learning, and encouraging interest in manufacturing careers.

].This virtual shop platform provides a safe environment to validate robotic program for anykinematic motion of the factory floor components, before it is downloaded into the physicalcontroller. In addition to the safety features, virtual commissioning also saves cost from redundantcomponents, programming error, and debugging time, before the shop is actually built [6-8]. Inpreparing students for their future career, simulation experience integrated hands-on training is animportant part of their education. VR robotics simulation and weekly robotics laboratories areexcellent teaching aids for providing students with opportunities to implement the theory theylearn in class. Students begin their projects by identifying the main components of a
