sustain the new development in manufacturing processes and technologies, it iscritically important that there is skilled workforce to support the industry. Prior research haspointed to a talent gap in manufacturing industry (Javdekar et al., 2016). To that end, multipleinitiatives are taking place on different levels. For example, at the industry level, many initiativesare being taken by the companies to bridge this gap, such as upskilling the current workforcethrough continuing education (Nepal et al., 2019), or partnering with an academic institution indeveloping appropriate program or curriculum (Nepal et al., 2016; Seemakula et al., 2010).

A frequent question is often raised among engineering educators: how do we makeprocesses relevant for instruction of students? This and other topics are addressed in theworkshop by i) first presenting the important areas of modern processing as applied to variousengineering fields and ii) showing ways to creatively integrate them into the curriculum throughcourses and hands-on laboratory experience. A major thrust of the workshop is hands-on processexperiments that are conducted by the participants with brainstorming on new experiments andhow to integrate

A team ofstudents works together, combining the topics learned during their undergraduate coursework tocomplete a substantial design project. Design courses can be uncomfortable for many studentsbecause of the open-ended nature of the requirement, leading to many questions such as “Are weon the right track? Do I have the right answer? Are we approaching this the right way?” Due totheir unique experiences, student veterans in engineering are well positioned to enable theircohorts to overcome these challenges.
