organizations and the Department of Defense. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2020 Multi Institutional Collaboration in Additive Manufacturing: Lessons Learned Abstract One of the fastest growing fields in the broad field of engineering is AdditiveManufacturing (AM), also known as 3D Printing. AM is being used in many fields including,among others, design, STEM, construction, art, and healthcare. Many educational institutionshowever, do not have the requisite capacity and resources to effectively educate students in thisarea particularly when it comes to rapid transition from design to small-volume level production.A
model can be applied across other institutions where students arefollowing the 2 + 2 path for their engineering education. Co-locating the program between astudent’s home and future transfer university will provide resources to help facilitate aparticipant’s transition. This partnership approach could be especially helpful for students atcommunity colleges where there are often limited faculty resources for research. Thus, this typeof program has the potential to not only improve the retention of 2 + 2 transfer students, but alsoencourage them to consider graduate school as well as promote collaboration among facultyacross universities.References[1] A.

thefour-year university projects before the URE begins. Specifically, Purdue University and PCCdesigned a program in which community college students discuss their summer research projectswith their faculty mentor. Four Purdue engineering faculty and ten PCC students participated inthe summer program (Table 3). It is worth noting that 60% of the students (in bold letters inTable 3) completed their undergraduate education in six years. In contrast, the national averagefor community college transfer students is only 42% [18].The following individual accounts are from Summer URE faculty mentors and students on theirparticipation in the eCURe Collaborative Research College Partnership.Table 3: Purdue mentors and PCC students in NCN sponsored summer

preparation of technicians for advanced technology fields of importance to the nation's economic development and security. The Advanced Technological Education (ATE) program that NSF began in 1993 in response to this legislation expects two-year college educators to have leadership roles in funded initiatives. It also requires two-year college faculty members in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) to collaborate with other education sectors and employers in their efforts to create or improve certificate and degree programs. The multiple tracks of the NSF-ATE program provide support for faculty professional development and general STEM education improvement. The program provides support to test innovative ideas along

A direct need for advanced technical engineering in thelocal community and industry drove Green College’s AM program development. A GreenCollege faculty member explained this program framing needed to be quick for students tocomplete the program in time to meet pressing local industry’s hiring needs. During this time,program leaders from Green College collaborated with the Florida Department of Education toestablish specific engineering technology frameworks. In addition, at this time the Green Collegeleaders also aligned their AM curriculum with the FLATE curriculum recommendations.Green College has a small AM faculty with two full-time

This novel and innovative educational delivery model will allowstudents to achieve a high-quality baccalaureate degree in mechanical engineering technology forclose to the cost of a single year at some institutions.BackgroundNumerous collaborations between higher education institutions and industry partners have beencreated in recent years with the purpose of aligning curriculum, and more importantly student-gained competencies, with the actual skills needed by employers (1,2). These models seek toincrease the value of a higher education and minimize the degree of on-site and on-the-jobtraining that must be delivered to a new employee
