This new program resulted from transitioning anexisting program in Manufacturing Engineering Technology along with its option in CAD/CAM.This new program accepted its first class of students in 2014 and plans to graduate 24 engineersper year starting in 2017. As part of the development of the curriculum for this new program,faculty in the department focused heavily on the recommendations from the Curriculum 2015initiative conducted by the Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME).3-4 Its primary goal was toexamine the state of manufacturing education in the US and to develop a plan for revising andimproving it. Included in the sixteen recommendations were two that encouraged the furtherdevelopment of SME’s Four Pillars of Manufacturing, and its
