six individual skillmodules covering skills such as dependability, responsibility, independence, persistence,integrity, and ethics. 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

projects. • SO4: an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts. Students were exposed to use of 3D scanning in an ethical way and its impact on the society in terms of culture preservation. They were also exposed to Intellectual Property laws within their ENGR 4801 Rapid Prototyping and Reverse Engineering course they took earlier. • SO6: an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions. To be able to solve their problems

Their primary goal is to improve manufacturing methods byincorporating advanced technologies and to prepare the next generation of workers through experientialeducational initiatives.The AIMS Division is an industry-relevant venue to develop and optimize novel, hybridizedmanufacturing processes, design and test custom sensors and controls, study and advance human-robotinteraction, benchmark cognitive computing frameworks, and define security and ethics-basedprotocols. Overall, it fits into CDME's core mission of working with industry partners in applied researchand while simultaneously supporting undergraduate student development during that research.The

skills such as manufacturing process selection, costestimation, and making and interpreting engineering drawings. Incorporating speakers and providingopportunities for tours of local manufacturing businesses also allowed students to understand theconnections between business and technical considerations in manufacturing. By fostering a culture ofinnovation, connecting students to practical resources, and emphasizing inclusivity, this initiative has thepotential to produce entrepreneurial engineers ready to tackle real-world challenges.8.
