2practices worldwide. The aim is for the Advanced Four Pillars to be a living documentwith periodic reviews to remain current.Four Pillars BackgroundThe Four Pillars of Manufacturing Knowledge, (Four Pillars) was first published in 2011as a component of the Curricula 2015; A Four Year Strategic Plan for ManufacturingEducation [1] (see Figure 1). The concept of the four pillars includes foundation skills inA) Mathematics and Science and B) Personnel Effectiveness with four major categories:1) Materials and manufacturing processes; 2) Product, tooling, and assembly engineering;3) Manufacturing systems and operations; and 4) Manufacturing competitiveness. Mottet. al. [2] credits the process of developing the Four Pillars to the Society ofManufacturing

planning and product design.Based on this review, we developed our survey as follows: • The existing surveys primarily targeted CXOs. Our survey targeted plant technical managers. As the focus of our project is on Industry 4.0 tools and technologies, we anticipate that we can learn more about what is happening on the plant floor if we gather data where “the rubber meets the road.” • In surveying managers about the technologies they are using, we followed Frank et al’s conceptual framework, which provides a useful taxonomy of Industry 4.0 technologies. However, Frank et al.’s sample consisted of Brazilian companies in construction and machinery which may be more traditional and less high-tech than U.S

and a disappointment that the project was not directly related to the student's specific career interest. 3. If you were going to participate in another internship, what would you do differently? • Two students essentially said that they would do nothing differently. • One student mentioned wanting to work more "efficiently" to complete more project-related activities. • One student mentioned being better prepared for the financial challenges (i.e., room and board, stipend payment schedule) 4. How has this internship experience affected your academic and/or career plans? • Two students reported academic-related changes, with one saying they felt more prepared for their upcoming courses and one reporting feeling more motivated to

, concise questionnaires need to be employed in training program evaluation to obtain appropriate insights of actual substance to future program teaching gamification.For future work, student surveying of a larger sample group by utilizing the methodologyproposed in this work is planned. Actual feedback from a student group will be used todetermine the weaknesses and potential areas for improvement for the evaluated courses, aidingin determining the key Core Drives of concern for subsequent teaching program gamification.After the surveying procedure is concluded and student feedback is gathered, a selection ofcontext-appropriate gamification mechanics and elements needs to be performed for subsequenttraining program gamification.

workforce training, AM is also playing a transformative role due to its uniquebenefits. Besides enabling the production of highly sophisticated instructive models anddemonstrations, hence improving STEM education, AM is increasingly used as a vehicle toquickly, iteratively and feasibly allow students to build functional prototypes to test theirconceived designs. AM can also help educate students about concurrent engineering, how themanufacturing plan for a part must be developed early on during the design process to make surethat design corrections and changes are not made late in product life cycle, where such changesbecome disruptive and costly. AM can also be instrumental in giving students hands-onexperience with product development resulting

between the power supply and other components was difficult to understand. 3. What was the most helpful thing about the wiring module? The most common responses were the opportunity to practice and the ability to visualize the wiring. 4. How could the wiring module be improved? One student said it would be helpful to see the wiring colors separately.Future work. Planned improvements include (1) provide explanatory information about why thewiring needs to be a certain way; (2) adding a sequence number to each wire; (3) showing theinterface steps in a to do list; (4) eliminating each step as it is completed, (5) adding a videoshowing an someone interfacing a physical module, sensors, and relay, and (6) adding real-lifevideo of the

partis beneficial for engineering fields such as aerospace and automotive where less weight meansgreater stability and speeds. All material has a failure point, so it is good to plan for how thematerial will fail and how that failure can affect the overall part. Honeycomb infill will collapseon itself, but will not fracture. This means the part can still hold the force applied to it. It seems that harder and stronger materials solidify faster when being 3D printed. Thiscan cause a rough surface finish. No matter what material is used, when 3D printing, surfaceroughness will be noticeable. A tradeoff for a better surface finish, if to reduce the strength of thepart by using ABS.Conclusion The results from the data can be useful in

devicesand controllers. Students often lack a system level perspective of automated systems and howeach component contributes to a system. Mastery of these concepts and skills is made even morechallenging by limited availability of equipment, limited lab time, and lack of system-levellesson plans. To alleviate these challenges and to make learning system integration conceptsaccessible, efficient, and interesting, interactive modules on sensors, programmable logiccontroller (PLC), and robot controller interfacing and case studies are being designed andevaluated. A group of 49 undergraduate students enrolled in a manufacturing automation androbotics course learners reviewed one of the developed case studies and provided feedback aboutits design and
