The researcher aims for the recommendations derived from this pilot study to raiseawareness of professional skill development within engineering curricula, fostering collaborationwith industry, and stimulating further research into enhancing the engineering curriculum with afocus on these essential skills.IntroductionTo succeed in the 21st-century workplace, engineering graduates need more than technical skillsor risk losing their jobs to automation [1, 2].

Manufacturing Education for Engineers Manufacturing education is a type of education that focuses on teaching individuals the skillsand knowledge they need to work in the manufacturing industry. This may include technicalskills such as operating machinery, as well as a broader understanding of the manufacturingprocess and how different parts of a manufacturing facility work together [17]. Manufacturingeducation can be obtained through a variety of programs, including vocational schools,community colleges, and four-year universities. The goal of manufacturing education is toprepare individuals for careers in this important industry, which plays a vital role in theeconomy. Manufacturing coursework is

Acompanion goal was to define appropriate taxonomies to measure student success in reachingthese outcomes.More specifically, building on existing literature, the group has been working to identify andvalidate a set of key transportation concepts. Following best practices in course design, thegroup will also formulate a set of outcomes related to these concepts around which a coursecould be developed.

However, even during the “lecture days”,care was taken to present the material in a manner that invited participation from the students.Both of the instructors have had significant experience in creating positive, welcoming learningenvironments at the undergraduate level, even when the course material is rigorous.
