Theseinterviews addressed their experiences in teaching in a multi-campus format, including how itcontrasted against teaching in a single cohort format. Participants were selected for theirexperience teaching in a new multi-campus engineering program to develop themes related toearly challenges in establishing effective multi-campus instruction.The interviews were semi-structured and included questions in the following areas: 1

ResultsThe course had an attendance of 44 participants from 17 manufacturing companies, of which 15of those are small and medium enterprises (SMEs), and two large companies. Of the totalparticipants, 29% were managers, 25% were engineers, and 46% were maintenance technicians.The response rate was 92.3%. All participants were male, with 4% being Black or AfricanAmerican and 96% White. Participants were asked about their level of expertise. 42% of theparticipants considered themselves

Unfortunately, evaluation ofoutdated training methods, along with discussing possibilities for their improvement, have notyet attracted sufficient attention.In order to effectively accomplish training goals, instructor-led and hands-on training methodsare widely adopted in most machining training programs. However, the aspect of traineeengagement, interest and involvement is often ignored, which can be one of the main reasons fordropping enrollment and retention rates observed in many machining related programs in tradeschools and community colleges. To spark the interest of the younger generation in this careerfield, more attention should be paid to incorporating training methods that are attractive to youngstudents
