Abstract

The goal of this project is to conduct workshops designed to obtain data on how to speed up the transition of research-based advanced manufacturing knowledge into course curriculum at technology and engineering programs. Advanced manufacturing technologies have opened up the realm for new products that only a decade ago were considered unproducible. For example metals 3D Printing has almost no geometric limitations, which allows engineers to develop mesh–based products. Unfortunately, the educational system that serves to educate the majority of manufacturing technicians and engineers utilizes many of the same curriculum resources for these emerging areas (textbooks, traditional lectures, etc.), frequently creating an unsuitable or inappropriate learning environment for technician and engineering training. This is especially true for the development of manufacturing materials and laboratories to maintain currency in advanced manufacturing. The first two workshops (Workshop #1 and Workshop#2) were intended to identify roadblocks associated with the development of a teaching community and repository for advanced manufacturing. Several roadblocks were identified and discussed. In addition to roadblocks "incentives" for a repository were also identified. A secondary objective for the project was to develop a "Community of instructors for advanced manufacturing", which was accomplished through the workshops. The third and final workshop will introduce the Repository for Shared Materials for Advanced Manufacturing (STAM) https://manufacturingeducation.wordpress.ncsu.edu/stam/, and engage manufacturing engineering faculty across the regional schools to discuss mechanisms and incentives for further development of STAM. Faculty and student survey results will be shared to convey this important need. Interactive session will continue with identification of select opportunities to help support the development and community building.
