research proposes a holistic design approach formanufacturing education to provide students with an integrated view of how products in the realworld metamorphose from an idea into the hands of end-consumers. A dynamic decision makingframework integrating product manufacturing topics across engineering and business courses isdeveloped to highlight system thinking and decision making in the context of the entire productlife cycle (i.e., product design, manufacturing process, manufacturing system, and businessprocess). Utilizing the Understanding by Design model, we first established clear learningobjectives associated with students’ basic understanding of manufacturing knowledge inconnection with product development life cycle based on Bloom’s

Degree full-time before entering the workforce, theopportunity cost is relatively high. Basic projection to break-even for lost full-time wages duringthe period of study for the Master’s Degree, even assuming a Teaching or Research Assistantshipand tuition waiver, is on the order of a decade.Engineers who pursue a Master’s Degree while employed in industry may find wage increasesfor earning a Master’s Degree nominal especially if the employer’s education assistance programpaid for the degree. Value of the degree is mostly in the added technical knowledge that can beapplied specifically to the current job, and sometimes in staying “even” with the educationallevel of peers. One trend to watch for in industry is any reduction in the level of

This partnership will help impart information-gathering research skills to students through face-to-face and virtual consultations; onlinetutorials, instructional sessions, and providing research help as needed. It will enable an increasein accessibility of educational resources in healthcare, hospitals, and engineering instrumentationin addition to biomedical engineering related work by students and hospital staff alike. In turn itwill decrease discontinuity between on-site visits, allowing the host hospitals to keep up withcurrent trends in education and narrow the disparity between the developing and developedcountries.
